Heavy international competition, tight bottom lines and fast turnaround demands are a way of life for manufacturers of all sizes.  That’s why everywhere we look our industry promotes improving productivity and performance as the keys to staying in business.  In January 2008, 4 Views Pty Ltd opens its doors and introduces a new set of support products and services to meet these challenges head on. Michael Rowe, Director of 4 Views Pty Ltd says “Supported setout functions and well managed estimating and factory management will mean manufacturers remain profitable, and that’s our ultimate aim.  To increase the performance and productivity of manufacturers”.

Getting jobs to the machine productively and eliminating idle time are two of the major contests faced by manufacturers.  With high demand for trained and experienced employees to run the production software, finding the right people with extensive trade and computer knowledge can be a challenge.  “The industry needs a service which offers a competitive solution to this skill shortage.  By extending manufacturers’ current setout resources, not replacing them, we partner with our customers to build their bottom line capabilities,” says Michael.  “We take the manufacturer’s designs and create all the necessary cutting lists and machine code for the job.  It’s an economical and sure fire way for them to know the job will be completed on time, and to standard.”

 
Continuing the theme of improved performance is the growing need for manufacturers to really get to know their business.  Managing estimates, costs and productivity across the factory floor is so important.  “The results my customers have experienced using TradeSoft Inc estimating and factory management software are truly astounding.  From being on the verge of closing their doors, to making record profits, I can’t campaign enough for how well this software makes a difference to the day to day lives of people using it.” 

 
“It feels great to be set up well in our own space,” says Michael.  “I look forward to 2008 being a year of building lasting relationships and making some truly profitable changes for our customers.”
