In-depth knowledge within specific focus areas

Add-IT strongly believes in in-depth knowledge of each industry. Which is completely in line with the overall vision of the 9altitudes group. One of the guiding principles is the ambition to speak the language of the customer as we continue to guide them through their digital transformation journey. This is not only a source of inspiration, it also ensures that experiences can be exchanged, so that the organizations within the 9altitudes family strengthen each other.

“Compared to the competition, we distinguish ourselves by putting the customer (and their requirements) first within the chosen manufacturing industries. The focus of Add-IT is on customer order-driven production logistics and branches where the registration and transformation of product dimensions play a big role. The latter includes the textile, wood, paper, foil and metal industries. In recent years, Add-IT has developed unique (certified) intellectual property in the form of Add-IT Product Dimensions to meet the requirements and wishes of these industries. The implementation approach is aimed at achieving customer-oriented solutions for the long term in order to support the business processes cost-efficiently and profitably”. – Martin Driessen, Add-IT

Add-IT complements the other solutions within the 9altitudes group perfectly. These solutions are located within the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform with the necessary internally developed software additions to better meet industry-specific challenges. In addition, new challenges are also coming our way, such as industry 4.0 and the increasing strategic role of data in the industry, which we are also fully committed to with Microsoft and PTC platforms and solutions. The rapid changes in the market and the associated challenges were one of the reasons Add-IT joined the group after 10 years of independent existence. In this way, the desired continuity can be offered for both the customer and the staff.
