Avatech Solutions Launches New Manufacturing Consulting Services Group

Avatech Solutions, Inc. announced the launch of the Avatech Consulting Services Group to meet the needs of the manufacturing sector.

Trading on Avatech’s years of experience in engineering and design solutions, this new group will focus on providing process improvements that also impact client efficiencies outside of design and engineering. Benefits can extend enterprise-wide, affecting the shop floor, sales, purchasing, customer service, even suppliers—dramatically increasing profits.

“New technology, in and of itself, is not enough,” said Scott Hale, vice president of the new consulting group for Avatech. “Improving and automating processes is often the key to achieving extraordinary productivity gains and lower costs. As technology evolves, however, many manufacturers find it hard to stay abreast of the best available advances and how to properly leverage them for the greatest time and cost savings across the entire company.”

Hale continued, “Our consulting group will look beyond technology to create advantages for manufacturers that provide exponential time and efficiency gains. Our team thoroughly understands the key challenges regarding processes that manufacturers face. Team members have been pulled from a roster of Avatech experts who have a proven history of streamlining and automating processes that are nothing short of transformative. The new group will operate out of Avatech’s 18 existing offices across the country.”

Avatech client SVI Trucks, a builder of fire, police, and multi-use emergency vehicles in Loveland, Colorado, wanted to speed delivery times and improve quality.

Avatech helped us integrate engineering, fabrication, and assembly processes, which allow us to build higher quality trucks in less time. The bottom line is that our customers receive better value and we are more efficient,” stated Dave Sargent, SVI’s engineering manager.

“We have a long history of working with our clients to implement the latest design technology,” stated George Davis, president and CEO of Avatech Solutions. “With our new Consulting Services Group, we will be focusing sharply on clients’ business goals, while targeting processes in addition to technology. With global competition at a fever pitch, American manufacturers need these services more than ever to increase efficiency and control costs. All of us at Avatech see ourselves as partners with our customers in their innovation process, leading to increased market share and long-term corporate sustainability.

“This initiative will directly support our stated objectives to leverage our deep talent pool and grow the services component of our business,” concluded Davis.
