Ridder Data Systems finds a new partner in Smart Production Solutions

Ridder Data Systems and Smart Production Solutions (SPS) are joining forces in software for the shop floor. With this partnership, both companies respond to a future with more and more ‘expert’ applications: specific applications that support certain business processes end to end as an integrated part of a total solution.

SPS develops smart, intuitive apps and integrations to optimise the existing logistics infrastructure. Based on years of experience, SPS helps customers shorten lead times, increase efficiency and improve OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). From now on, the SPS apps – including JobControl – integrate seamlessly with Ridder’s ERP software.

More control and overview on the shop floor

Ridder’s ERP software and the SPS apps form a unique combination in manufacturing. Together they build a digital bridge between office and shop floor, so the shop floor can be managed very efficiently and digitally. In addition, direct and accurate feedback on order processing and process disruptions gives every manufacturer more control and overview of the shop floor.

A sound basis for the next step in Smart Industry

Henk-Jan Hop, Commercial Manager, is pleased with the partnership with SPS: “With the integration we have achieved, we combine the strengths of both software solutions. In terms of usability, the SPS apps were developed from the end user’s point of view – web-based, device-independent, and integrated with our ERP software. In short: a dedicated solution for the shop floor, integrated with our ERP system. An asset for Dutch manufacturing.”

Eric Klement, Director Sales at SPS, agrees and stresses the importance of good digitalisation: “Digitalisation is a must for the future. With Ridder iQ as the ERP, extended with the apps of Smart Production Solutions, every manufacturer has a sound basis for the next steps in the world of Smart Industry.”
