Inventory Improvements

A core reason Plas-Tech selected INDUSTRIOS

was its seamlessly integrated inventory

functionality. With a large customer base and

intricate inventory requirements, the need for

easily-accessed, accurate data was crucial.

Plas-Tech experienced signi$ cant inventory

issues in their previous environment. These

ranged from consistently inaccurate data,

lack of data visibility, di" culty tracking

items, and missing material. There was no

visibility of jobs, indication of pro$ tability,

nor could adjustments be made. This created

ine" ciencies throughout their operations.

However, all this changed with INDUSTRIOS.

Plas-Tech can now easily con$ rm inventory.

For instance, the item master is reached

through sales order entry. Users can access

data tables without needing to exit, $ nd item

numbers from other areas of the system, and

drill to di# erent screens. This increased data

visibility o# ers time and cost savings. They

enjoy the convenience of accessing tables in

one application, at one time, in seconds.

With INDUSTRIOS’ advanced inventory

features and functions, Plas-Tech can now

e" ciently track and manage inventory

while receiving time and costing savings,

as well as increased employee productivity

and e" ciency. With these enhancements,

the team has additional time and ability to

measure these processes. Operations are

slated to improve as they plan to expand their

use of INDUSTRIOS.

“I like the fact the INDUSTRIOS team is

responsive,” Steven Darlow, General Manager.

Continuous Reporting

In their previous environment, reporting

was unavailable. However, Plas-Tech is now

receiving improvements from fully integrated

INDUSTRIOS reporting functionality. These

include the ability to easily generate reports

and compile data to analyze trends. Further

success is anticipated as this comprehensive

INDUSTRIOS features is optimized.

Tracking Bene$ ts

The ability to track jobs is a valuable bene$ t

Plas-Tech gained by selecting INDUSTRIOS.

Previously, the ability to track jobs and

determine pro$ t generated from every order

was di" cult. As Plas-Tech o# ers custom

fabrication and jobs cannot be replicated,

pro$ tabilty was estimated. Users could

not access an overall view of jobs being

processed, nor focus on certain areas to

retrieve detailed information.

Before INDUSTRIOS, compiling data was

tedious. Employees used stopwatches and

manually tracked the production time for

each order. This process was time consuming,

and hindered pro$ tability and productivity.

With the INDUSTRIOS implementation, this

is no longer the case. With the introduction

of a real-time environment, Plas-Tech is now

tracking and measuring all processes. This

core change has the potential for far-reaching

improvements throughout the company.

With their customized nature, Plas-Tech

cannot fabricate an order twice. Yet this o# ers

an unique opportunity. The team tracks and

measures similar orders, production strengths

and weaknesses, selects the most consistently

pro$ table machinery, processing times, and

applies these $ ndings to upcoming jobs.

These improvements translate into far-

reaching bene$ ts for the Plas-Tech team.

“We are very pleased with the INDUSTRIOS-

QuickBooks integration. Our INDUSTRIOS

implementation has given our team the

ability to leverage additional savings by

keeping our existing QuickBooks in place

for our $ nancials. This allowed us to spend

more time being trained on INDUSTRIOS for

our operations. This was a game-changer!

Work% ows and reporting functionalities are

accurate and uninterrupted, and translated

into time and cost savings. Our productivity

and e" ciency also increased. We value

far-reaching bene$ ts the INDUSTRSIOS-

QuickBooks integration is providing. The

entire Plas-Tech team is very pleased with

this integration,” Steven Darlow, General

Manager.

The INDUSTRIOS Experience

With a detailed project plan, thorough

consultations, hands-on training, and technical

support, the INDUSTRIOS implementation was

seamless. Also, the INDUSTRIOS team focused

on more than the current implementation,

allowing for future improvements.

Setting the Course for Success

The Plas-Tech team is pleased with its new

INDUSTRIOS functionality, which is improving

overall operations. Future implementations

are eagerly anticipated to experience further

gains. With Plas-Tech’s continued success, it’s

certain INDUSTRIOS will grow along with them.

“We always had missing material, and didn’t know its location. This

fully integrated system with traceability improves our e" ciency.

We even track jobs and set pro$ tability! Our team now determines

areas of improvement - and has tools to continuously improve,”

Steven Darlow, General Manager
