Challenge: Deadlines That Outpaced Manual Processes
A leading conveyor systems manufacturer faced a critical bottleneck: engineering lead times stretched up to six weeks. With clients demanding faster turnaround and sales engineers buried in manual order checks, the business risked missed deadlines, rising costs, and strained customer relationships.
Solution: AI-Powered Manufacturing Software Development
Sparq partnered with our client to design a solution built to solve, not just build. We developed AI-driven tools that translated legacy code, applied semantic search across 20 years of data, and automated Bill of Materials validation. By embedding AI into core workflows, we enabled faster, more accurate order processing and smarter inventory management.
Results: Lead Times Cut to Days, Costs Slashed
With AI at the center, engineering lead times shrank from weeks to just days. Manual analysis dropped by 95%, workforce costs fell by 75%, and sales engineers could refocus on higher-value work. The client now delivers faster, more reliably, and with greater efficiency, strengthening their market position and customer trust.
