What Soft Tech does

Soft Tech, founded in 1988 in Auckland, New Zealand, operates as a specialized product brand under the global software platform company Cyncly, serving the fenestration (windows, doors, and glass) manufacturing industry. Its flagship offering, V6 Advantage, is an end-to-end production software platform built natively on Microsoft Business Central ERP that integrates Configure-Price-Quote (CPQ), dynamic bill-of-materials management, production automation, and full ERP capabilities — production scheduling, inventory, delivery, service, and finance — for window and door manufacturers and fabricators. The platform differentiates on technical depth around complex configurations (curves, rakes, custom shapes) and is integrated with major CNC equipment vendors (HOMAG, SCM, Biesse, Weinig, Elumatec, Atrium) to automate NC code generation from design data. A dealer and fabricator network management module extends the platform to channel partners for instant quoting and order capture.

The company monetizes through enterprise software licensing and subscriptions (quote-based, not publicly disclosed), optional cloud hosting services, and professional services including implementation, customer success plans, and academy training. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (with a 'Request a demo' consultative motion) targeting large manufacturers, a channel partner program for dealers and fabricators, and event- and webinar-driven thought leadership. V6 Advantage is distributed globally through Cyncly's platform infrastructure across 15+ countries with multi-language support, and it coexists with sister products contractERP (architectural openings) and FeneVision (production optimization). The firm had a headcount of 51–100 employees and received a $147,221 grant from Callaghan Innovation in December 2013.

Direct peers

• Klaes GmbH & Co. KG: One of the largest European providers of software solutions for window, door, and façade manufacturers. Klaes offers ERP, CPQ, and production planning tools that directly compete with Soft Tech's V6 Advantage in the fenestration vertical.
• Orgadata AG: German vendor of 'Logikal' software for the window, door, and curtain wall industry, providing CPQ, profile management, and production integration. Directly comparable to V6 Advantage in target customers, vertical depth, and CNC/production automation focus.
• WseFactory Software: North American provider of window and door manufacturing software, covering estimating, production, and shop floor management. Closely comparable to Soft Tech in vertical focus, customer base, and CPQ-to-production scope.
• FeneVision: Cyncly's own fenestration production optimization software, sitting alongside Soft Tech in the same parent's portfolio. It serves the same window, door, and glass manufacturers with overlapping CPQ, production, and shop-floor functionality.

Broad incumbents

• Schüco (SchüCal): Global incumbent in window, door, and façade systems that also sells proprietary fabrication software (SchüCal) to its fabricator network. Comparable as a fenestration software competitor with deep vertical context, though it is a system manufacturer first and a software provider second.
• Global Shop Solutions: Long-established ERP/MRP vendor focused on custom and make-to-order manufacturers. Comparable to Soft Tech as a manufacturing ERP for SMB-to-mid-market fabricators, but with a horizontal rather than fenestration-specialized approach.
• JobBOSS by E2open: ERP for job shops and custom manufacturers covering estimating, scheduling, and shop floor control. Comparable to V6 Advantage on the small/mid-market manufacturing ERP axis, but without the fenestration-specific CPQ and BOM depth.
• Epicor Kinetic: Mid-market manufacturing ERP platform serving make-to-order and configure-to-order manufacturers across multiple verticals. A potential horizontal competitor to Soft Tech for customers weighing vertical depth against platform breadth.

Emerging players

• Microvellum: Provider of CAD/CAM and ERP software for cabinet, furniture, and wood products manufacturers. Adjacent to Soft Tech's manufacturing-CPQ + ERP + CNC integration model, though focused on cabinetry rather than fenestration.
• Cabinet Vision (by Hexagon): Cabinet industry design-to-manufacturing software with parametric design, BOM, and CNC output capabilities. Comparable to Soft Tech on the design-CPQ-CNC production workflow axis, though serving a different building-products vertical.
