The digital process chain in window and door construction
Klaes at Polyclose 2026
When Polyclose opens its doors in Ghent from 14 to 16 January 2026, Klaes will once again present how digitalisation in window and door construction not only accelerates processes, but also opens up completely new scope for companies. The industry software pioneer from Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler is thus building on its successful presence at the 2024 trade fair – and is once again stepping up its technological game.
The focus is on the end-to-end digital process chain: from configuration, sales and planning to production and assembly. For many companies, this has become indispensable in order to remain efficient in the face of increasing order density and scarce resources. In Ghent, Klaes will be showing what this chain could look like in 2026 – faster, more flexible and more intuitive than ever before.
Klaes e-prod horizon: The next evolutionary stage of paperless production
With Klaes e-prod horizon, Klaes is demonstrating the new standard for digital production. The completely modernised technology platform provides significantly more speed, more flexible user guidance and a customisable interface for different production areas. Production information is not only provided paperlessly - it flows intelligently to where it is needed. For production managers, this means less manual coordination, more transparency and real-time communication.
Klaes webtrade & webshop: sell digitally - internally and externally
With webtrade (for dealers) and the webshop (for end customers), Klaes shows how modern quotation processes work: mobile, intuitive and database-supported. In 2026, the provision of article data from production in particular was further simplified - a major advantage for companies that offer products in a wide range of configurations. Sales teams can now work much more flexibly and present realistic visualisations and technically correct configurations to customers live on a tablet or notebook.
Klaes Alu plus: even cleverer processing of aluminium windows
With Alu plus, Klaes shows just how deeply aluminium-specific designs are now embedded in the systems. From profiles and parts lists to organisational features - aluminium window manufacturers benefit from a solution that combines all material types in one software.
ELO DMS integration: documents where they belong
The integration of the ELO DMS in 2026 shows how convenient office work can be today: Documents, emails and project files are automatically assigned to the appropriate customers, quotations or projects. They can be accessed directly from the Klaes software - without the stress of searching and without media discontinuity. This saves time, avoids errors and ensures seamlessly traceable documentation.
Klaes assembly planning: Planning with a clear overview
Klaes assembly planning combines orders, deadlines, teams and resources in a clearly organised system. The intuitive interface makes it possible to plan assignments quickly and reliably - including transparency for everyone involved. This makes paperwork a thing of the past.
Klaes CRM solution: Structure for sales
The CRM solution is the central control centre for all customer relationships. Standardised processes make it easy to get started, while flexible customisation options offer scope for company-specific processes. In particular, the automatic bidirectional exchange with the main application ensures that sales teams always work with up-to-date data.
Klaes time management: a smarter approach to time recording
Klaes time management has gained enormously in importance since the last Polyclose. The solution covers classic clock-in/clock-out times as well as order-related bookings - mobile, stationary and with smart analyses such as heat maps or team calendars. For companies with assembly and production teams, this creates a solid database for planning and post-calculation.
At Polyclose 2026, Klaes will be showcasing an impressive range of solutions that have one thing in common: They make processes simpler, faster and more transparent. Companies looking to drive forward their digitalisation will find the entire range of modern software technology for window and door construction at booth 1552 in hall 1.
