FOMACO A/S: quotes in minutes, not days

My role: Strategy advisor · Process consultant · Implementation support

Days → minutes

to issue a quote

< 1 year

Implementing a full CPQ ('configure-price-quote') solution connected to ERP

5 months

(Ongoing) Connecting PDM to ERP to streamline supply chain hand-over

The challenge

FOMACO A/S delivers specialised food processing equipment to 80+ countries. A sprawling product portfolio, an overburdened R&D team, inconsistent supply chain information and documentation out of sync with delivered equipment limited efficiency and blocked further scaling. Issuing a quote took days.

What we did

Working with vendors in CAD, PDM, CPQ and ERP, and with me as strategy advisor, process consultant and implementation support, FOMACO:

  • modularised its key product families
  • introduced a CPQ platform for instant proposal generation
  • implemented a PDM system to keep configuration data aligned across the business
Phase 1 took less than a year. Phase 2 (5 months) automates the transfer of configured product data to ERP.

The result

Growth without losing customer fit, or growing R&D or production headcount.

FOMACO can now scale commercial reach, market fit and order volume while preserving the product quality and adaptability that made them a world-class supplier.

“Jens Chemnitz has been highly instrumental across several stages of the project — from sharpening strategic objectives and translating needs into a solution architecture, to scrutinising vendor proposals and facilitating requirements workshops. We can clearly recommend the role and actual outcome of his services.”

— Carsten Giesel, CTO, FOMACO A/S
