About Tuppas Software

Software Corporation

Tuppas started as a LLC, in 2001 and became a corporation in 2004. The company was founded by Paul Tupciauskas, President and CEO. The company is privately owned. Paul Tupciauskas, founder, started the company after becoming experienced in developing internal software applications for various manufacturing facilities, such as Johns Mansville and BASF. He developed a RAD (rapid application development) tool which enabled him To quickly and easily build customized interface screens and reports. He used his expertise in the manufacturing industry to build a client base of manufacturers who benefitted from his custom applications. Tuppas helps manufacturers leverage information technology to improve production efficiency. We configure and implement lean manufacturing software solutions for our clients. Configurable browser-based applications are the ultimate solution for collecting and reporting production data, due to a number of advantages: Scalability. Can be used at any size plant and multiple plants with anywhere access.

Real time availability. Gathers, summarizes and presents plant floor data in real time.

Integration. Can be integrated with almost any data source. Export data to other systems. These systems can export data for use in other enterprise-wide systems such as supply chain management or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Flexibility. Customizable reporting structure allows users to see the data they want to see.

Easy to use interfaces. Employees log occurrences with an easy to use interface or we can use automation to gather data. Quick implementation. Since these applications are browser-based, there is no installation process at individual computer work stations. This allows for easy upgrades and modifications as well as decreased IT and computer equipment costs. The software can be located on internal or external servers. Rapid configurability. Entry screens and reports are built on an object oriented structure which allows changes to be implemented in a fraction of the time required by conventional systems. Data Push. This is the ability to warn plant management in real time that production problems are occurring on the floor. The software can send auto email or text messages to the appropriate management personnel. This enables staff to become proactive instead of reactive. These browser-based applications allow for more flexibility, lower cost of ownership and a shorter time to implementation than their old legacy system counterparts.

What type of applications does Tuppas Develop? We specialize in MES (manufacturing execution systems). We provide browser-based scheduling and advanced planning applications, production performance tracking applications, job tracking, quality management, statistical quality control, inventory management systems, business intelligence, training applications, CRM, SCM and ERP applications. Why is Tuppas doing so well? We offer expert systems which help our clients realize efficiency gains, which translate into bottom line dollar savings, sometimes very significant. Our applications are custom, yet less expensive than other vendor's custom offerings. Our rapid development cycle is another huge advantage we have over our competition. We also offer our clients the ability to learn to use the RAD development tool for themselves, so that they can change their own application as needed. Why Tuppas is a good candidate for this project. Tuppas is a privately owned company that has shown consistent growth. We are experienced in developing and implementing browser-based solutions for many large and small organizations. We have created solutions for customers such as Honda America, Coca-Cola, Marathon Oil, Campbell's Soup, Heinz, West Virginia State Police, as well as many small to medium sized companies. We are experienced with developing software for a multitude of environments. One of our strongest assets is the ability configure a solution that works with a customer's work flow and any other technology or business systems they may already have in place. We are also willing to provide a fixed bid quote/proposal for software systems. About our software development process Tuppas uses an agile software development method. Our development methodology promotes a project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadership philosophy that encourages teamwork, self-organization and accountability, a set of development tools that allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software, and a business approach that aligns development with customer needs and goals. Your application will be developed based on bi-weekly development meetings (by phone) and the working version of your application will reside on our development server. You will have continuous access to the system at any time, so that you can monitor our progress as well as formulate what additional functionality or changes will be needed for your application as we progress. We request that your organization select and appoint a customer representative, who will be the point of contact to act on your behalf and make a personal commitment to being available for our developers to answer mid-development questions. This will help the project to move along in a more timely fashion.

About the Tuppas Programming Framework Tool Tuppas has designed a programming framework on top of Microsoft's .Net platform. This rapid development tool allows us to configure user specific web-based software applications in a short time frame, usually about 8 weeks per module. This programming tool gives us the ability to offer customers the following advantages over other manufacturing software vendors: We can design each module you purchase specifically for you. Your users won't find confusing fields or functionality you don't need in your software. We configure our modules to be a perfect fit in your situation. It's easy to modify. Whether we make the modifications or show you how to do it yourself, it's no longer a hassle to change the way your manufacturing software works. Add fields, change report layouts and more, whenever you like. Add more Tuppas modules to your solution at any time. Start with one or two, and add more as you are ready. Integrate with operating modules or other data sources. Updates to technology and interfaces are done separately. That means that technology upgrades can be made (for instance to .NET) without interfering with the functionality of your application. Likewise, you can easily change your interface without disturbing the underlying technology. This is a huge advantage that eliminates cumbersome upgrades and outdated software. It also makes it easy to change interfaces and reports. It's scalable. Our software can grow and change as your business needs change. Since it's browser based, it can easily be extended to multiple locations. It also means that updates and changes to a multilocation enterprise's software are quick and easy. You get the source code and RAD tool with your software purchase. You get the complete package when you purchase a system from us. Even if you never need to use it, you get the license to all of the source code and the development tool that we used to make your application along with the software purchase. There is no need to spend money on an escrow account. Your IT staff can modify the software. If you are interested in making modifications to the applications internally, we offer training/certification classes so that in-house IT personnel can learn to use our development tool to make changes to the software whenever you like.
