About the company

PS Laser has been a contract manufacturer of sheet metal parts in Thedinghausen near Bremen for more than 35 years. On 18,000 m², 185 employees produce everything from laser-cut blanks and bent parts to complex welded assemblies, plus tube processing and powder coating, in steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Besides direct sales, customers cost their parts themselves in PS Laser's online shop.

As a contract manufacturer for laser cutting, press braking and assembly, we need a costing solution that responds quickly, reliably and flexibly to widely varying customer requirements. In WSoptics we found exactly the right partner.

Right from the start, our processes were analysed and the software was adapted specifically to PS Laser's requirements. As a result, we have been able to simplify our costing considerably, create quotes faster and also let our customers cost their parts themselves in our web shop.

We particularly value the close, straightforward collaboration. Suggestions for improvement are taken on board, implemented with practice in mind and tested under real-world conditions before release. The result is features that add real value in day-to-day work.

The software is clearly laid out, intuitive to use and quickly became part of our daily routine. Besides saving a significant amount of time, we benefit from more reliable costing and more efficient quoting.

For us, WSoptics is not just a software vendor but a dependable partner that understands our requirements and develops forward-looking solutions together with us. We can recommend both the collaboration and the software without reservation.

About the company

Magna International is one of the world's largest automotive suppliers: more than 155,000 employees at 321 manufacturing and assembly sites in 28 countries engineer and build body, chassis, powertrain and electronics systems, right up to complete vehicles.

In 2025 we were looking for a software solution that would let us cost laser-cut and bent parts as well as assemblies simply and efficiently, and create quotes from them directly.

The WSoptics team supported us with deep expertise from the very start and consistently adapted the software to our individual requirements. The close collaboration produced a solution that is tailored perfectly to our processes.

What impressed us most was the team's hands-on approach. New features and software changes are tested thoroughly under real-world conditions before release, which makes for high stability and usability.

The software is intuitive to use, simplifies our costing and quoting processes considerably and offers excellent value for money with low licence costs.

We greatly value our partnership with WSoptics and can recommend the solution without reservation.

About the company

PAKIC GmbH in Elchingen near Ulm has been making precision parts since 1990: CNC turning and milling, robotic welding and sheet metal processing, as single parts, prototypes or in series, for the automotive industry among others.

We got to know WSoptics through our ERP partner – and the very first conversations showed that the chemistry was right. Above all, we share one thing: we are pragmatic and want solutions that work and create real value in day-to-day business.

With WSi we got far more than just software. The direct interface to our ERP system let us take our costing to a whole new level. At the same time, we benefit from WSoptics' extensive sheet metal expertise and know-how.

For us, that is the combination that makes the difference: software, interface and a real understanding of sheet metal fabrication from a single source.

Together with WSoptics, we can now scale considerably better in sheet metal as well and take advantage of new opportunities. And we have a partner at our side who understands our challenges, thinks along with us and develops solutions together with us.

For us it was quickly clear: this fits. And that is exactly how a partnership should work.
