Challenge: outdated software, slow processes

Symons, a specialist in custom metal door frames, was working with outdated tools. Price calculations were done manually (CPQ), data wasn’t connected, and document export was inefficient. Every change had to be made in multiple places, which was time-consuming and error-prone.
‍
They were ready to take the next step, without abandoning the way they work. The goal? More efficiency, fewer mistakes. And since Symons handles both small and large-scale custom production, they needed a system flexible enough to grow with them and respond quickly to customer needs. Standard software didn’t cut it. A tailor-made solution was the only way.

“From the very first meeting, their team wasn’t sitting across from us, but beside us. They asked critical questions, always kept the lines of communication open, and addressed every concern right away. That engaged attitude resulted in a solution that fits us perfectly. They’re excellent at building software, but even better at collaboration.”

The collaboration: practical and hands-on

We kicked things off with an in-depth workshop: listening, but also challenging their ideas with technical insights. That no-nonsense approach helped us get to the heart of what was needed.
‍
We worked iteratively, with short feedback loops to keep Symons closely involved throughout the build.
‍‍
Even post-launch, we continue refining based on their input, always guided by how they actually use the tool.‍

Challenges turned into strengths

We like a good challenge. Every project comes with its own technical challenges, and that’s exactly how we like it. This time, we successfully delivered:

No disruption to their way of working: We respected their internal structure while boosting speed and accuracy.
Thinking ahead: We streamlined where needed, without touching what worked.
Deep domain insight: By really understanding their process, we built a reliable model that automates accurate, made-to-measure quotes.
