With more than 10,000 m² of industrial area and a team of about 180 employees, the company stands out for its flexibility, technical know-how and ability to respond quickly to the demands of a constantly evolving market.

The Challenge
With the growth of production and the diversity of orders, A.J.Maias faced critical challenges related to operations management, logistics and product traceability.
The previous management model no longer kept pace with the scalability needed to ensure total control of the production cycle.
Complex logistics: need to manage an intense, diverse flow of materials and components.
Mandatory traceability: customers’ requirement to know the origin and path of each component of the bicycle.
System unification: need to integrate scattered processes into a single, centralized system.
Shop-floor management: lack of real-time visibility of operations.
”The relationship with the INCENTEA team has been fantastic, communication is very easy and can be done in a simple, open way, which leads us to faster results.
Rui Tavares, Diretor Geral da A.J.Maias
