Is your software consuming too many resources for maintenance and further development?

Excessive maintenance ties up valuable resources. A modern, scalable system reduces effort and creates space for real progress.

Are your employees struggling with old systems and confusing workflows? Would you like to modernise and simplify your processes?

Outdated systems and complex workflows slow down daily work. Modernising creates clear structures, eases your team’s workload and boosts efficiency.

Your existing software can no longer cope with modern requirements and leads to limitations - is your efficiency suffering as a result?

When software can't keep up, bottlenecks and inefficiencies grow. Updating or replacing it improves workflows and boosts overall productivity.

soxes reliably supports industrial companies in modernizing, optimizing, and stabilizing their individual software solutions.

Because:

Many industrial companies work with outdated software that has grown over the years. Modernization is often urgent, but complex.
Knowledge about in-house developments is often only stored in the minds of individual people. If they leave, there is a risk of everything coming to a standstill.
Missing interfaces, insecure legacy systems, and manual processes slow down digitalization and increase operational risk.

However, challenges can arise over time: Security risks, a lack of skilled labour or systems that can only be maintained at great expense. At this point, a reliable partner is required to provide support, ensure stability and create the basis on which further steps – such as modernisation or expansion – are possible.

Process optimisation with customised software

Industry-specific software solutions are crucial for meeting the individual requirements and challenges of different industrial companies – especially in the age of Industry 4.0. Customised software solutions enable companies to optimise their processes, increase productivity and better meet the needs of their customers.

The use of customised software development offers the advantage that solutions can be tailored precisely to the specific requirements and workflows of your company. This not only facilitates the integration of data, processes and systems, but also ensures a high degree of flexibility in adapting to future changes.

By digitalising and networking these elements, your company can significantly increase its efficiency and improve its competitiveness. The simple integration of software solutions into existing systems helps to optimise workflows and obtain important information about production processes.

Case Study: Ensuring quality, accelerating processes

1 Project Overview

Stadler Rail stands for the highest quality, sustainability, and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies in rail vehicle construction. To ensure high standards in quality control even as production grows, soxes worked with Stadler to develop a mobile application that digitizes and automates the entire inspection process.
2 Challenge

With the expansion of production and service, there was an increasing shortage of qualified inspection specialists. The question was how to efficiently support experts so that inspections could be documented more quickly and reports could be processed without delay.
3 Solution

soxes designed and developed a native Android app that digitally maps all relevant process steps. From the integration of order and vehicle data to image uploads and an intelligent speech-to-text function, all inspections are efficiently documented. Reports are generated automatically and forwarded directly to the technician teams at any time, on the go, on site, and with the highest security standards.
4 Result

The Stadler Rail Inspection app has been in use worldwide since 2021 and reduces the processing time per inspection by around 30 percent. This allows experts to concentrate on their core tasks while processes run much more efficiently. Due to the positive results, the solution is being continuously expanded and transferred to other processes.

Typical use cases in the industry

Production management

Systems for planning and controlling production.
Often developed in older technologies that are not compatible with new analysis tools or real-time dashboards.

Maintenance and servicing systems

Software that monitors machines and schedules maintenance cycles.
Safety-relevant applications where errors cannot be tolerated.

Logistics and warehouse management

Programmes that coordinate material flows and manage stocks.
Often isolated stand-alone solutions that are not integrated into modern ERP systems.

Quality control and documentation

Software that collects and analyses production data.
Many of these applications are linked to machines and require customisation.

Why is a partner like soxes important?

Warum ist ein Partner wie soxes wichtig?

Especially in the industry, it is crucial to work with a partner who understands both the technical side and the industry-specific requirements.

We have experience with

High-availability systems that need to be maintained without downtime.
Old systems (legacy software) that can only be modernised step by step.
Machine control and interfaces that are specially adapted to production environments and address specific problems with customised applications.

How we support your company

Support and knowledge backup

We document your software thoroughly and ensure that your company is not dependent on individuals. In this way, we create a basis on which future adaptations are possible.
Stabilisation of existing systems

We analyse your current software and ensure that it works smoothly. This includes security updates, bug fixes and process optimisation.
Integration of new technologies

Without replacing your existing systems, we create interfaces to modern technologies - such as IoT platforms or cloud-based tools - and thus enable step-by-step further development.
Strategic consulting

We work with you to develop a plan for future-proofing your software. A replacement is just one of many options and is only recommended if it really makes sense for your company.

Why industrial software is not a standard solution

From complex production processes to strict industry-specific regulations and individual interfaces – standard software is often not designed to fulfil these requirements. Industrial companies need tools that are precisely tailored to their specific processes so that no compromises have to be made in terms of efficiency, quality or safety.

This is precisely where it becomes clear why industry-specific solutions are a must in order to successfully master these industrial challenges:

Specialised machine control: programmes that communicate directly with production machines are frequently used in industry. These solutions were often developed in older programming languages such as Delphi, C++ or Cobol. PHP is also used, especially for web-based interfaces. A failure or error can paralyse not only the software, but the entire operation.

Systems that must not come to a standstill: Unlike in many other industries, industrial plants run around the clock. Every minute of downtime means financial losses. It is therefore crucial that the software is regularly maintained to prevent downtime.

Loss of knowledge: Many companies are faced with the challenge of employees retiring or leaving the company with the knowledge of the systems used. With older solutions in particular, there is often a lack of documentation and dependence on individuals becomes a weak point.

Efficient production requires a strong partner!

Whether stabilization or further development: we think things through and ensure that your system runs reliably.
