Hauni: Comprehensive digitisation strategy in the bid and order process
Company
Hauni Maschinenbau GmbH is an internationally active German manufacturer of machinery and equipment for the tobacco industry (cigarette machines).
- Location: Hamburg (headquarters)

Project Objectives
- A high-performance and flexible configuration solution for production facilities with their approximately 100,000 different features was established.
- Sales and engineering is combined without system breaks.
- Thoroughly consistent data minimises deviations and errors. The sales department always has reliable information at hand.
- Use the CPQ solution to streamline processes and make distributed knowledge available.
- Company-wide expert knowledge is systematically recorded. This results in overarching knowledge of all relevant processes.
- The throughput times have dropped significantly as configuration changes in the CPQ automatically lead to customised 3D models.
We used to have specialists for all sub-areas. But hardly anyone had the overall know-how about all processes. Thanks to the central master data management, our colleagues now have broad, superordinate knowledge about the interrelationships. This increases the quality of the work immensely.
