Background

The TianJin Light Industry Equipment Institute, a developer and manufacturer of vending machines, depends on fault-free scheduling and information exchange for its production process, quality control and project management. The traditional methods of experience-based management does not always suit contemporary business development, especially with regard to fast tracking advanced technology and 'informatization' - an urgent issue for many enterprises. ConXerto Harmony provides a virtual environment for collaboration and helps customers to address this issue.

In early 2003, we first learned of ConXerto Harmony, the collaborative design management system product software. ConXerto Harmony provides a virtual environment for collaboration work on new product development. This allows business customers, designers, engineers as well as administrators to share information, revise product design via the virtual workspace. As a result, this enables effective product development for enterprises and thus a smooth business process. As staff can work closely and seamlessly, this helps enterprises to realise an effective and faultless business process as well as fast track the pace to 'informatization'. Finally, this will enhance the overall productivity and cost effectiveness for the business.
