Prodaso's flagship offering, DeepPRO, creates a digital twin of the production floor, providing a real-time, comprehensive view of ongoing production processes. Leveraging sophisticated algorithms based on statistical analysis and AI methodologies, the software can detect anomalies and identify optimal operating conditions, thereby significantly reducing downtime and minimizing waste.

Through this strategic acquisition, Forterro aims to enhance its ERP solutions with cutting-edge capabilities that integrate IoT and AI technologies, empowering its industrial mid-market customers to optimise their manufacturing operations, improve efficiency, and gain a competitive edge in an increasingly data-driven landscape.

“If we want to give our customers a competitive edge in production, then innovative AI-supported technologies are the way forward, and we are delighted to be taking the first step in this direction with Prodaso,” said Marcus Pannier, Regional President Central Europe at Forterro. “Their pioneering product is the perfect addition for us to make our solutions even smarter and to accompany our customers into the next era.”

Nicolaos Debowiak, Co-Founder of Prodaso, commented: “For my Co-Founder Manuel Meier and me, this acquisition was the ideal way to achieve our goals as quickly as possible. Forterro is the best partner for us - we share the same vision and company values, and we gain access to resources in marketing and sales as well as the power to scale and access the European market. We expect rapid market growth through Forterro's strong customer base and look forward to taking our DeepPRO product to the next level by combining our expertise and experience.”

By integrating DeepPRO into Forterro’s ERP solutions, customers can maximise productivity through complete transparency and real-time analysis. The benefits of this integration include:

• Improved resource efficiency and delivery reliability: intelligent control and planning with self-optimising AI algorithms. 
• Time and cost savings: Paperless production ensures up-to-date data and access from any location. 
• Quick optimisation start: Fast implementation without time-consuming master data maintenance. 
• Higher quality and error reduction: Early detection of anomalies and optimisation potential through pattern recognition in production processes. 

In addition, Prodaso's intelligent production planning automates the optimisation of production schedules based on real-time information, enabling fast and continuous adjustment. The combination of Prodaso technology with Forterro's existing solutions results in powerful innovations in the field of APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling) software that significantly improve production planning and operational efficiency.
