In order for the company to stay at the forefront of development and the market, Lantek has provided it with a customer online portal which is fully automated both for sheet metal and for tubes/ profiles. This online store allows its users to receive a quote for fully automated laser cutting in a few minutes for 2D and 3D files. The whole process is fully automated without the need for the company to intervene, from the loading of the DXF, DWG, STEP and/or IGES files and the introduction of the specifications of the parts (material, thickness, quantities), to the calculation of the quote and the generation of an order.
This process and its various functionalities has been built on the foundations of several Lantek products: it uses the Integra Quotes calculation engine to generate the quotes, it offers the earliest delivery date for an order based on the calculation of the workload of the machines using the Workload Monitoring of Lantek MES, and allows orders to be placed and the associated invoices to be sent through the Integra Sales module. With the aim of improving the online store’s user experience, all this is encompassed inside a functionally simple web design. It is visually friendly and based on the latest web development technologies, offering a robust, solid product with great potential.
The integration of the online store in the company’s website will reduce the workload of the company’s sales force, improve the customer response time and, above all, offer a service that is available 24/7 365 days a year. In other words, it offers prices quickly, the fastest delivery times available with everything organized in an online customer
environment.
