Finsterle Connects Employees Worldwide and Saves Money with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

Finsterle GmbH is a SOLIDWORKS® customer located in Dürmentingen, in southern Germany. The company serves customers in mechanical and plant engineering and special vehicle and crane construction. It delivers several manufacturing services, including welding structures and assemblies made of steel, machining, painting, assembly, and more.

For most manufacturing companies, a successful product development process demands regular collaboration among all stakeholders, including internal departments such as R&D, engineering, design, and manufacturing. External stakeholders may also include customers, suppliers, and contracted labor for specialized tasks. Finsterle especially prides itself on delivering reliable, quality, honest, and down-to-earth service with thorough communication.

The ease of collaboration among all internal and external stakeholders is one of the primary reasons Finsterle GmbH selected the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform.

“[It] is our interface for employees, designers, and assemblers worldwide,” says Markus Finsterle, Managing Director, Finsterle GmbH.

Regardless of location, the entire value chain is always automatically up to date when accessing data on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

“We like the direct connection to SOLIDWORKS very much [with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform],” says Finsterle. Everyone is kept in the loop in real time at all locations. 

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides an abundance of advantages to Finsterle: superior security standards, ability to bring employees from all departments up to speed almost immediately, and ease of communication and collaboration. The company also values highly the instant availability of all data and drawings to employees, including designers and assemblers worldwide, via the cloud platform. This has enabled the company to save time, resources, and money. Further, the platform will effortlessly accommodate the company’s growth and the addition of internal and external staff.  

“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a very good investment,” says Finsterle.
