Everything is connected,
so is inforum
inforum is the leading management platform for manufacturing companies. The modular platform maps complex processes across the entire lifecycle, standards-compliant and scalable, on a single shared data foundation.
The core principle: One system for all processes.
Manufacturing companies manage complex processes across functional boundaries, with supply chains, quality, production and service all interconnected. In practice, however, this is often handled with isolated tools, fragmented data and high coordination effort. inforum brings processes, data and responsibilities together in one shared system. The platform is web-based, consistently AI-supported and modular in design.
The difference lies in the process knowledge
The platform is backed by JAWA’s interdisciplinary team with over two decades of experience in the manufacturing industry. During implementation, JAWA acts not only technically, but also professionally at eye level: as a partner who knows the requirements from practical experience.

All modules share the same database and remain connected across divisional boundaries.
inforum in practice: central process areas
Supplier Management
Strategic supplier management is a key lever for efficiency and quality in production. inforum creates transparency along the entire supply chain, makes risks visible at an early stage and replaces reactive escalation management with predictable, forward-looking control.
Quality Management
Quality is not created at the end of the process, but along the entire product life cycle. inforum combines advance quality planning, series production support and complaint processing in one system and makes quality control measurable, traceable and auditable.
Production Management
Stable production requires clear planning, reliable processes and consistent quality assurance. inforum combines production planning, process control and quality management in a common system and creates the basis for controllable processes in operational implementation.
Integrated Management Systems
Standards, processes and documentation rarely interact smoothly in practice. inforum creates the common basis for standard-compliant process and document control and ensures that requirements are mapped consistently and evidence is provided without gaps.
Field Service Management
Service processes have an impact far beyond the individual deployment. inforum combines customer complaints, deployment planning and error prevention in an end-to-end process and ensures that findings from the field are systematically fed back into upstream areas.
Digital Apps
Today, processes extend to machines, customers and partners and require digital solutions that are seamlessly integrated. inforum extends the platform with digital applications that directly connect people, systems and data and bring platform functions into everyday operations in a targeted manner.
More efficiency and lower costs
Deployment according to your requirements
inforum On-Premises
inforum is delivered pre-installed and ready to use as a “plug & play” solution. This allows you to use your own infrastructure without any additional work for your IT department. All data remains completely under your control within your own company.
inforum Platform as a Service
inforum is operated on a certified European data center. JAWA takes over operation, updates and data backup completely for you and relieves your IT department. All data transmission is secure and encrypted.
Seamlessly integrated into your IT landscape
Existing system landscapes in manufacturing companies have grown and are complex. inforum is a web-based platform designed to fit into these structures. Standardized interfaces enable connection to ERP systems such as SAP and other leading platforms. Data flows where it is needed, without media disruptions and without duplicate maintenance.
The integration is accompanied by JAWA. Interfaces are defined, configured and tested together with the customer. The result is a connected system that complements the existing IT landscape in a meaningful way.
inforum knows your industry
In-depth industry knowledge is anchored in inforum, developed by JAWA from over two decades of project experience in the manufacturing industry. The platform is geared towards the specific requirements of manufacturing industrial companies, with particular expertise in the automotive environment and in mechanical and plant engineering.
Automotive and suppliers
Supplier management, quality assurance and conformity to standards are particularly complex in the automotive environment. inforum maps the industry’s requirements end-to-end – from APQP and 8D to supplier evaluation.
Mechanical and plant engineering
Individual products, complex supply chains and high quality requirements characterize mechanical and plant engineering. inforum supports the integrated control of development, production and service on a common platform.
Manufacturing industry
Manufacturing companies face the challenge of managing quality, supply chain and production consistently. inforum creates the structural basis for this, scalable and adaptable to different manufacturing environments.
Frequently asked questions about inforum
inforum is geared towards industrial manufacturing companies, from medium-sized machine manufacturers to international corporations. The modular structure enables gradual entry and targeted expansion, regardless of company size and existing system landscape.
inforum replaces several individual solutions with a common platform. This reduces license costs, eliminates redundant interfaces and noticeably reduces the effort required for data maintenance and coordination. At the same time, process costs are reduced thanks to consistent control and earlier visibility of deviations. The cost effect is not a one-off, but grows with the use of the platform.
inforum covers the central process areas of industrial manufacturing companies: Supplier Management, Quality Management, Integrated Management Systems, Production Management, Field Service Management and Digital Apps. All areas are part of a common system and access the same database.
JAWA provides technical support during implementation. Companies start in the process areas where the need is greatest and expand the platform in a targeted manner. JAWA contributes not only technical but also in-depth process and industry knowledge.
