Kubitech, a specialized company focused on manufacturing plastic materials and lightweight alloys such as aluminum, serves clients across various sectors, including the agro-food, medical, and automotive industries, providing essential components for automation machinery.

The challenge

As the company grew, managing production data became complex, and they hit a wall with their existing system. They needed a scalable, reliable, and multiplatform solution that could handle large amounts of data, connect different team members, and grow with their business and their customers’ needs—all without requiring a massive upfront investment.

The search for the right technological solution revealed the limitations of conventional approaches. Enterprise solutions like SAP proved not only expensive but also overly complex, requiring extensive customization and training for their specialized manufacturing processes. Meanwhile, traditional custom development showed its own drawbacks when one of their clients spent five years and significant resources on a custom-coded solution that became a maintenance nightmare – unstable, filled with bugs, and unable to scale as the business grew.

The experience demonstrated that neither excessive complexity of enterprise systems nor the fragility of ground-up custom development would serve their needs.

Nicolas Tworogowski, Kubitech CEO and avid enthusiast of IT, programming, and data management, was keen on developing an in-house system to address production specific needs.

The perfect fit: Claris FileMaker

After testing various tools, Nicolas discovered Claris FileMaker. He was immediately drawn to its intuitive interface, extensive development possibilities, and cross-platform compatibility. His previous solutions using Microsoft Access had reached their limits, and many other tools he tested suffered from instability and weak code structures.

With FileMaker, Nicolas found the reliability and security he needed. He wanted a system that would not require constant troubleshooting, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.

Strategic partnership

Nicolas partnered with Bartosz Liszkowski from GoIDEA (Claris Partner in Poland) to bring the vision to life:

• Nicolas acted as the architect, analyzing the needs and translating them into specifications.
• Bartosz transformed these ideas into a functional and efficient application.

GoIDEA, based in Poland, specializes in custom application development with Claris FileMaker. Experts in streamlining workflows and integrating multiple applications, the company ensures efficient, on-time, and budget-friendly project delivery, standing out among Poland’s top Claris FileMaker developers.

The impact

At Kubitech Industrie, around ten employees now use the FileMaker solution, ranging from finance personnel to operators on the production floor. The system was quickly adopted and revolutionized the company’s workflow.

The tool’s ease-of-use ensures that each employee has access to the relevant data and tools necessary to perform their tasks efficiently. The application is designed to assist workers, not burden them with additional work.

Key benefits:

• Work comfort: Employees experience a smoother workflow with a user-friendly interface.
• Reliability and stability: The system runs without frequent crashes or technical failures.
• Real-time synchronization: Any product specification changes can be updated instantly and shared across all relevant personnel.
• Increased productivity: Processes are streamlined, reducing inefficiencies.
• Improved communication: Clear and instant data-sharing reduces misunderstandings, stress, and dissatisfaction.

Kubitech’s journey demonstrates how the right technological choice can transform a company’s operations, making work more efficient, productive, and stress-free.

Building on this successful digital transformation, Nicolas has launched an ambitious new venture: AI Dynamics. The mission is clear: to provide tailored AI and automation solutions that reduce costs, optimize processes, and boost productivity for companies facing similar challenges. With AI capabilities integrated into Claris FileMaker, they will unlock new levels of efficiency for their clients.
