PPF Solutions

The Challenge: When Success Creates a Bottleneck

PPF Solutions is a European leader in the manufacturing of high-end stamping foils and dies - a business built on precision and quality. As the company grew and production volume surged, a critical bottleneck emerged not on the factory floor, but in the digital design process.

Their team of highly skilled technical designers used the powerful Carveco software to prepare intricate files for CNC engraving. However, many of these jobs required the same complex, multi-step preparation process every single time. This repetitive manual work was time-consuming, pulled skilled designers away from more creative tasks, and represented a potential source of human error that could be costly in a high-precision environment.

To scale effectively, PPF Solutions needed a way to automate these repetitive tasks from inside their core software—a challenge that required a partner with deep expertise in custom software development and niche application integration.

The Solution: Building Automation Directly into the Workflow

ProSistemos partnered with PPF Solutions to develop a suite of over 10 custom plugins built specifically to integrate with their Carveco design software. We worked closely with their design team to identify the most time-consuming and repetitive workflows.

For each workflow, we engineered a custom plugin that replicates the entire complex process behind a simple user interface. What once required a designer to perform a dozen different actions in a precise sequence is now accomplished with a single click. These tools aren't separate applications; they are seamlessly integrated into the Carveco environment, feeling like a native part of the software the team already knows and uses every day.

The Business Impact: Minutes Saved, Errors Erased, Scalability Unlocked

The results of this ongoing partnership are direct, measurable, and impactful.

• Dramatic Time Savings: Each automated process saves up to 7 minutes of skilled design time. When multiplied across hundreds of jobs per week, this translates into thousands of hours saved annually, freeing up the design team to focus on innovation and high-value client work.

• Elimination of Human Error: By automating the sequence, the process is now virtually error-proof, ensuring a higher level of quality and consistency in the final manufactured product.

• Unlocked Scalability: With this critical bottleneck removed, PPF Solutions can now confidently increase their production volume, knowing their design pipeline can keep pace without hiring more staff to handle repetitive tasks.

This partnership demonstrates our core strength: we build targeted automation solutions that solve the unique operational challenges that standard software can't, empowering our clients to become more efficient, resilient, and ready for growth.
