Commercial Advantages

>
> Controlling and optimising your material and production costs
Give your costing personnel the ability to ask “What If?” scenarios during the design process,
so that material and machine costs can be controlled and optimised to achieve the right
balance.
For example, during the design phase you may want to ask: “How would using a different
jacketing material affect the cost of the cable, per kilometre?”, or, “How would using a different
machine affect the cost of the cable?”, or, “What happens if my scrap is reduced to zero?” – all
of these can be answered.
>
> Accurate cable data sheets
It’s always beneficial that customers view your business as professional, reliable and
transparent, and that’s why we’ve designed CableBuilder Go to produce cable data sheets,
complete with 2D drawings of your cable and information breakdowns.
*Implementation time depends on each individual client and their product mix.

>
> Centralise your designs and product knowledge in one place
Act with greater speed and efficiency, with full control of costs and machine routings, allowing
you to respond to changing customer demands, market opportunities and machine usage
in your factory.
CableBuilder Go helps you to gain control and harness a key company asset – the collective
product knowledge of your staff. All designs and versions are contained within your database
and accessible by any member of your team.
Over the years we’ve seen many in-house systems which are difficult to access, unreliable and
not scalable for future growth in a product range. At other times, the creator of the system has
left the company, with the remaining staff trying to understand a system without any available
documentation or training. CableBuilder Go has been designed to mitigate these risks.
>
> Helping to achieve standards compliance
CableBuilder Go’s design “versioning” feature allows for full history and traceability of designs
– and the changes to each design – which leaves a clear audit trail for standards compliance
and auditing.

> Can we get our existing designs into CableBuilder Go?
Yes. The range of designs that CableBuilder Go can store and manage within a single account
is almost limitless.
Once CableBuilder Go is live in your factory, existing designs can be inputted manually into
your account and accessed by your team.
>
> How quickly can I generate a quote for my customers?
Existing designs can be quoted in a matter of minutes.
Quoting for new cables takes longer as the design has to be created in the system first, but
once the design is set up, generating quotations takes minutes. Even when a new design is
required, CableBuilder Go’s ease-of-use means that most users are able to turnaround new
designs and quotations in 30 minutes.
>
> How will CableBuilder Go help compete against other manufacturers?
CableBuilder Go enables you to act more quickly and efficiency in the marketplace, with
the confidence that costings are accurate and necessary financial margins are accounted
