BUSS AG implements digitalization roadmap with CIM Database Cloud
BUSS AG is replacing its existing keytech environment with CIM Database Cloud from CONTACT Software, laying the groundwork for the company’s digital future.
To secure its digital competitiveness and further strengthen its international market leadership for compounding systems, BUSS AG is transitioning away from outdated IT solutions and will rely on CIM Database Cloud in the future. With CONTACT’s PLM system, the company is ensuring leaner and more efficient processes.
Its end-to-end product data and document management enables quick, transparent access to all relevant documents throughout the entire product lifecycle. Comprehensive project management allows projects with integrated product data to be reliably planned, managed, and monitored. CIM Database Cloud also simplifies requirements and material data management, ensuring adherence to high compliance and quality standards.
The scalable and powerful Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution meets the highest security standards, significantly reduces BUSS’s internal IT efforts, and enables employees to get started quickly and easily. Together with CONTACT, the company is pursuing a user-centric approach where user experiences and behaviors are collected and analyzed. The insights gained from this process form a solid foundation for their long-term digitalization strategy.
Over the next six months, BUSS and CONTACT will develop a detailed roadmap and define which additional modules and functionalities will be implemented. “I have successfully used CIM Database in other companies and witnessed the sustainable value it creates in daily operations,” emphasizes Stephan Brändlin, Project Manager PLM at BUSS AG. “Therefore, I am convinced that CONTACT’s PLM system will also provide an ideal basis for efficient processes and digital transformation here at BUSS.” BUSS AG also plays a pioneering role within the Jakob Müller Group, creating synergy potential from which other business units can benefit.
Following a successful rollout, BUSS plans to quadruple the number of users. New users will then benefit from the expertise of experienced ones. In addition, the company is interested in integrating CONTACT Elements for IoT to extend its digitalization potential to its service business.
As part of the Jakob Müller Group, BUSS AG generates revenues of 65 million CHF. The mechanical engineering company, based in Pratteln, Switzerland, employs approximately 150 people.
