Widely adopted but still flying below the radar, 2020 Insight decreases order processing by as much as 80 percent and reduces time to market for newly developed products by up to 90 percent.
 
During a 2:30 p.m. ET Livestream broadcast from its booth #4717 on the floor of the 2018 IWF Fair in Atlanta, 2020 will show you how 2020 Insight works, and how it can completely reinvent your production operation.
 
IWF Atlanta will see the introduction of 2020 Insight version 11, which continues the evolution of 2020’s end-to-end solution by adding a Service Management module that supports a journey from design, manufacturing, delivery through the complete install.
 
The new module helps the manufacturer focus on customer-driven manufacturing, enabling complete monitoring and supervision over the personnel, equipment and requirements of all installations, with the added ability to initiate work orders in the field.
 
In addition, 2020 Insight version 11 includes a new, cleaner and more intuitive user experience and extends its reach beyond the plant by launching a suite of mobility applications for Business Intelligence, Field Sales and Field Service. Maximizing inventory throughput, increasing productivity and improving accuracy are key goals for manufacturing operations and the new mobile applications will dramatically reduce unplanned downtime and enhance worker productivity.
 

2020 is widely respected by thousands of users among professional designers, retailers and manufacturers in the kitchen cabinetry, interior design and furniture industries for its applications that capture ideas, inspire innovation and streamline processes.
 
By providing end-to-end solutions and the world’s largest collection of manufacturers’ catalogs, 2020 provides businesses with the software and content to be more efficient, integrated and productive.
 
2020  software solutions tailored specifically for cabinet and furniture manufacturing make it possible to link people, machines and resources for a highly automated and flexible Connected Factory. 2020’s ERP software, 2020 Insight, combines, analyzes, enhances and distributes all sales, production and logistics data to create a single data hub which is key to a company’s success.
 
2020 Insight can help you implement Industry 4.0 by connecting systems inside and outside of your factory with real-time visibility and built-in business intelligence, helping you assess new sales opportunities, drive product development, integrate your machines and automate your production processes.
 
Scanning technology ensures real-time data is available – anytime and anywhere – even on your mobile device. 2020 Insight enables flexible, optimized production, smart allocation of human resources and efficient materials usage to help you succeed in a dynamic marketplace.
