A German tech multinational has chosen Sheffield startup TJ Digital Systems as its first UK partner.

CONTACT Software will roll out its end-to-end digital solutions for manufacturers in the UK. The firms say the strategic partnership combines CONTACT’s modular Elements platform with TJ Digital Systems’ deep knowledge of the UK manufacturing sector and proven expertise in systems integration, digital consultancy and performance delivery.

CONTACT Elements enables companies to merge data silos and integrate with enterprise systems such as ERP or CAD. It supports cloud deployment and provides AI capabilities to optimise processes all the way from product development to manufacturing and service.
