➤ OPERATIONS —New Tools to Improve Operations PRODIM The Prodim Door & Window Solution expands upon the capabilities of the sup-plier’s Proliner 2D and 3D measuring devices. First, the user measures the door or window opening on site and saves it digitally. Then, the measurements are converted in the office and automatically inter-faced to an ERP or CAM system, or downloaded to program CNC machines, the company explains. Mea-surement reports, shop forms and barcode stickers can be created with the system to organize the logistic process. Working in the factory, rather than the jobsite, enables doors to be machined in optimal conditions with the right tools automatically, the supplier notes. The company also now offers the Window Position tool, a special clamp enables the Proliner to be positioned in the middle of the window frame to get an optimal measurement result. 888/229-3328 | www.prodim.eu MARKETSHARP A web-based application, MarketSharp m is a contact and business process management system designed to cost-effectively increase a home improvement company’s performance by lowering lead costs, increasing closing ratios, and improving overall office efficiency.
