, a software provider helping manufacturers increase innovation and efficiency by intelligently automating production, has entered into a partnership with DigiFabster, the California-based software as a service (SaaS) company, to deliver a novel e-commerce-enabling solution. Combining Oqton’s manufacturing operating capabilities with DigiFabster's instant quoting, e-commerce interface and billing functions yields a complete solution to help manufacturers automate the production workflow — including additive and subtractive technologies — thus reducing cost and lead times.
Precision-engineered parts are often expensive to manufacture and purchase. As a result, these parts are not often kept in inventory, but rather are produced on demand when needed. The partnership between Oqton and DigiFabster is said to deliver an integrated, purpose-built order, payment and production-ready automation solution for manufacturers, and a convenient purchasing experience for buyers.
“E-commerce continues to be a disruptive force — transforming consumer behavior and our expectations for easy-to-use services,” Ben Schrauwen, senior vice president and general manager of Oqton, says. “We saw a real opportunity to bring together Oqton’s advanced manufacturing capabilities with DigiFabster’s e-commerce solution to transform the entire process. Through the combination of a convenient, modern, front-end experience with streamlined back-end processes such as digital inventory management, and automated fulfillment and logistics, we’ve automated the entire production workflow to provide a more efficient experience for manufacturers and purchasers.”
“We believe all manufacturing shops should have access to software that is both quick to implement and makes a significant impact on day-to-day shop operations,” said Konstantin Ivanov, CEO, DigiFabster. “Our partnership with Oqton provides manufacturing companies with an integrated solution that unlocks the power of e-commerce sales along with providing the critical data to automate the complete production process.”
DigiFabster is a complete e-commerce and quoting automation solution that is designed for quick custom implementation and ease of use. Oqton powers automated order processing and execution by connecting machines and processes on the shopfloor, including data preparation, powder management, real-time dashboards and reporting. The result is comprehensive manufacturing management with full traceability and transparency.
