From reduced costs to strategic gains.

- The added value of Cmotions at Fabory.

Since 2024, Fabory has been working with Cmotions to optimize their data infrastructure. What started with TimeXtender support grew into a strategic partnership focused on performance, scalability and future-proof insights.

From implementation to impact.

In 2024, Fabory switched to Cmotions as its partner to support TimeXtender. The reason? The need for a more structured and proactive collaboration with clear SLAs and strategic guidance as well as setting up Data Governance with TimeXtender Orchestration (formerly Exmon).

Data teams in house, Cmotions as strategic partner.

Fabory has a strong in-house data team, including specialists in BI, data engineering and data science such as: AI and Machine Learning. The collaboration with Cmotions therefore does not focus on operational support, but on the strategic design of the data architecture and the fresh perspective from outside. Plus, therefore, the support of TimeXtender.

Further optimization with TimeXtender Orchestration.

In the fall of 2024, the TimeXtender Orchestration (formerly Exmon) added to the TimeXtender environment. This expansion yielded immediate results:

9

A savings of €5,000 per month thanks to smarter deployment of cloud resources

9

Improved planning capabilities and control over data processes

9

Greater flexibility through PowerShell automation

About Fabory

Fabory has been a leading international supplier of fasteners such as bolts, nuts and more for more than 75 years. From this rich history, the company has grown into an established name in the industry, with a strong presence in Europe, China and India. Today, Fabory operates in 14 countries and supports more than 1,000 employees worldwide in providing high-quality fasteners and services to thousands of customers.

With annual sales of nearly 300 million euros, Fabory is a serious player in the market. The company sells no less than 7.5 billion pieces of fasteners each year - an impressive volume that illustrates how essential Fabory's role is within complex supply chains. The strength lies not only in the numbers, but also in the breadth of the assortment: Fabory manages an inventory of some 430,000 products, 110,000 of which are specifically focused on fastener solutions.

Although the company has an international scope, the commercial core lies in the Benelux. Some 60 to 70 percent of turnover is achieved in the Netherlands and Belgium, where Fabory has for years been a trusted partner for industrial players and production teams who count on precision, quality and, above all, continuity.

The collaboration will be led from Fabory's digital innovation division, led by Sven de Bie. With more than 22 years of experience in B2B, 7 of them at Fabory, he is responsible for developing customer-centric data applications such as AI agents, predictive models and Power BI dashboards with MyFabory Insights. His background in programming, online marketing and data integration makes him the link between technology and business.
