Quanos – that is the association of software experts who develop unique software products and solutions for after-sales, service and technical documentation. More than 1,000 companies worldwide trust in the innovative, successful and sustainable technology of Quanos.
Our passion for Smart Information motivates 300 employees in software development and projects every day. For more than 25 years, this has resulted in innovative, successful and sustainable solutions. True to our motto „Passion for smart information“, we live our mission every day: We help people understand machines better.
Depending on the situation and application, people in service and after-sales need specifically prepared information for the respective machine, system or device in front of them. The data required for this comes from different source systems (including ERP, PLM, CRM, CCMS). For technical documentation, we offer the CCMS SCHEMA ST4, which is considered standard equipment in many modern technical editing departments. The cloud-based solution Quanos InfoTwin makes it possible to merge distributed information into a digital twin and thus bundle product- and situation-specific knowledge in technical documentation, aftersales and service. Alternatively, customers can use the proven on-premise solution Quanos SIS.one.
Our customers are manufacturers and operators of machines and systems who prepare and provide smart information about their products in after-sales, service and technical documentation. Companies from the manufacturing industry, information technology and the food industry benefit from smart information just as much as companies in the automotive and supplier industry, medical technology, the software industry and other sectors. With our software solutions, we offer essential tools for all these target groups. Companies such as ABB, Agilent, Andritz, Atlas Copco, Bentley, Bombardier, Bosch, Carl Zeiss, Caterpillar, Daikin, Datev, Dethleffs, Doppelmayr, Geberit, Haribo, Kaba, Kärcher, Konica Minolta, KSB, Liebherr, MAN, Mercedes Benz, Miele, Austrian Federal Railways, Philips, Porsche, Schaeffler Group, SEW Eurodrive, Siemens, Skoda, SMA, Stadler, Toyota, TüV, Voith, Weleda, Wincor Nixdorf and many more. v.a.
