The Total Resource Intelligent Management Concept (TRIM)
MBN International Systems Ltd. are the creators of Profitmaker Window Industry Business Solution Software.
Profitmaker Business Solution Software has its roots firmly planted in the window industry. It began in the early Eighties with a leading window industry fabricator in Southern Ireland.
In the early days, as a window industry fabricator, it faced many common challenges encountered by fabricators and installers both then and now. These included poor costing information, double handling, excess or insufficient stock, inefficient manufacturing processes, missed delivery dates, and waste—all of which reduced margins. With tight margins, even the smallest improvement in efficiency makes a significant difference.
To address these issues in the window and door industry, a comprehensive business solution software was needed. This led to the conception of Profitmaker, based on the TRIM concept.
Developing this software required a thorough understanding of all related resources and their interactions. The labour resource necessitated knowledge of the number of work centres for a given product range and detailed work studies of all manufacturing activities involved in window, door, glass, and ancillary fabrication. Material resources varied based on product size and real-time stock requirements. Factory size, machinery resources, and work centres also had to be considered to optimize product output. Minimizing waste across all resources was essential. Furthermore, no contract was complete until installation and payment collection, making the installation process critical. This process required an understanding of crew size and fitting capacity to determine start and finish dates accurately.
First-hand experience in the window industry provided unparalleled insight into what a software system should achieve. It needed to be a single-entry system displaying profit margins at every stage, with JIT (Just-In-Time) manufacturing at its core.
This LEAN, FLEXIBLE system represents WORLD-CLASS MANUFACTURING at its best.
This business solution software is patented in Ireland, the UK, and Europe.
Profitmaker is widely used across the UK and Ireland, powering some of the window industry’s most successful companies, from small businesses to large fabricators.
