Simple Workflow system brings efficiency and productivity savings for igus

 Based in Northampton in the UK, and with global headquarters in Cologne, Germany, igus® is the largest producer of injection moulded polymer bearings and reinforced plastic cable carriers in the world. 

The comprehensive range of maintenance-free, wear resistant products have been tested and proven to last through real life and simulated applications and environments, tested within the company’s own 1,750 m2 test laboratory. 

 With five decades of experience in plastics and three in cables,  igus® provides the right solution based on 100,000 products available from stock. By constantly developing and producing  new technical products using motion plastics, igus continues to  deliver “cost down, tech up” to every customer.  Key to this development has been a continued drive to focus  on customer service. Internal processes where staff can track and trace orders quickly are essential to continuous improvement. T Cards Online has provided igus® with the right tool to meet their needs. By using this adaptable, simple, and clear system, information is available “At A Glance” to all the stakeholders in the process. 

igus® director, Justin Leonard explains why this is so important. “Having a clear picture of what and where things are is essential to help staff with their day-to-day tasks.. To maintain our continuous improvement process, we need flexibility. For that you need two things. Firstly, the right people and second, the right tools. We are lucky to have a dynamic team who are always seeking to implement improvements. And coupled with T Cards Online, we have an adaptable tool that continues to evolve to meet our needs.”
