Software for Machine Builders

Software for machine builders needs to connect variants, projects, technical data and commercial workflows. This is where generic ERP often reaches its limits: it understands items and orders, but not always configuration, robotics logic, technical approvals or project-specific calculations.

Typical problems

• Quotations live in spreadsheets because ERP does not know the variants.
• Project status, engineering, purchasing and service live in separate systems.
• Technical data is copied several times and is hard to trace.
• Standard processes fit, but special logic becomes a workaround.

Our approach: standard systems for stable records and transactions, custom software for the logic that differentiates the machine builder, and AI agents inside it, handling bounded tasks such as reconciliations and data preparation. Owned software is one of the ways to give an agent the data and the actions it needs for that; where your existing systems already provide both, connecting to them is enough. MAFU-SHERPA is the matching proof: CPQ configurator at MAFU-SHERPA, portal for machine productivity, and DATEV export from Business Central.

Human review stays where context is missing; the software is yours, tested and maintainable. If your machine-building process still depends on spreadsheets, let us discuss a concrete workflow.
