Sheffield-based tech consultancy, The Curve, has been appointed to develop a “game-changing” order tracking software package.
It’s working with metal 3D printing service, Enable Manufacturing to create EnableChain.
The software can track and trace jobs from order to invoice, which will make it possible to deliver metal parts, made with Enable’s Additive Casting, within 4 weeks.
Each order can be configured with a dedicated supply chain, put together based on material requirements, part size and any required add-ons.
“It has been brilliant to work on this unique project with Enable,” said James Ridgway, The Curve’s CTO and co-founder.
“There was no off-the-shelf software solution available on the market that would meet Enable’s needs to custom configure a supply chain for every customer order, so the team came to us to work on a custom software solution together.
“Over the next nine months, we conceived, developed, and delivered a unique programme that has digitised Enable supply chain and will help them to achieve their growth targets.”
Ridgway added that the new process would allow for maximum transparency and better communication and coordination throughout the supply chain.
