Purpose

TLDR: Defining a business process shouldn’t mean wrestling with complex systems. We handle it for you.

Around Christmas Time...

During the holiday season, we challenged leading artificial intelligence models to map the automotive industry comprehensively. For an added twist, we asked them to integrate blockchain technology. Despite refining our instructions, the outputs became increasingly convoluted.

While AI has advanced significantly, at Shitbox Engineering (SBE), we approach businesses as dynamic systems. We see IT as an interconnected framework where companies operate and evolve, with financial resources acting as the vital fuel for growth and resilience - scarce yet essential.

From local repair shops to online startups and global corporations, every business faces the challenge of keeping pace with technological change. Some adapt more effectively than others, but all recognize that lagging too far behind—or mismanaging resources - jeopardizes survival in this ongoing race.

No more metaphors.

At the core of any business lies its product or service - its strength depends on what it delivers. Shitbox Engineering supports clients throughout their product lifecycle: from design, research, and development to planning, manufacturing, logistics, marketing, sales, change management, customer support, and documentation.

Coordinating these elements seamlessly can be complex, but that’s where SBE excels. With extensive experience, innovative solutions, and a client - focused approach, we identify opportunities where others see obstacles. While some provide standard manuals, we offer customized training and practical guidance.

Shitbox Engineering — managing IT systems, processes, and tools since 2009.

Solutions

Product Lifecycle Management Systems

PLM systems streamline a product’s journey from concept to retirement. Designed as a single source of truth, they centralize data to enhance collaboration, improve quality, and accelerate development, testing, and release.
When implemented effectively, PLM systems optimize manufacturing processes—such as configurations, planning, and change management - by automatically versioning and structuring data. Bills of Materials (BOMs/MBOMs) are generated directly from the latest approved datasets.
Defined workflows, user roles, and automation tools significantly reduce delays and human error. Access rights for departments, teams, and product owners are clearly established, secured, and easily managed.
Seamless integrations with CAD software and systems like SAP and CRM.
