Project Management

Project management module was developed for manufacturers involved in larger scale construction or delivery projects. Projects can be divided into orders and the planning interface handles document storage and versioning, resource planning, manufacturing batch planning, statuses, and more to make sure everything related to one project is easy to navigate throughout the whole system.

Project management module can also act as a hub for information sharing among external parties involved in the project cycle - engineers, manufacturers, logistics companies, and assembly teams. In the case of construction material manufacturers, the module can integrate with CAD platforms to upload and interpret engineering information for further planning and status control.

Whether you have one product that can be configured in a hundred different ways or a myriad of products that need their own configurators, Austra can handle it all.

We support a low-code approach to allow setting up sophisticated configurations. The setup for the product configurator is done via a simple interface, where your employees can edit existing configurators or add and set up new ones with ease. Our software can handle any parameters your manufactured goods and processes might have, and prepare standardized information for other modules like manufacturing and logistics.

Once everything has been set up, our platform can automatically calculate BOM, production norms, generate order estimates and any other documentation you might need.
