Since 1952, a well-known polyurethane foam fabricator has grown into an industry leader by building custom items that rely on unique specs for each product. However, after recently achieving impressive additional success through the standardized production of innovative, high-quality, branded product lines, the foam fabricator realized they needed to upgrade to a hybrid manufacturing environment.
To grow the business properly, they knew they required a system that would support their core, project-based processes while also delivering a standardized manufacturing setup built to streamline operations and provide better planning agility.
While searching for the ideal solution for their needs, the foam fabricator came across the manufacturing software experts at SWK Technologies.
Partnering with SWK Technologies for True Service & Real Results
Both the foam fabricator and SWK Technologies have developed reputations in their respective industries by continuously focusing on quality, service, innovation, and expertise. They also both built their businesses by exceeding customer expectations on every one-of-a-kind project every day.
For SWK, project success begins with carefully listening to each client. During their discovery process, SWK learned that the foam fabricator:
- Experienced difficulties with inconsistent job costing that would eat into their margins
- Faced occasional delays in production time due to raw materials shortages
- Relied on a cumbersome process for scheduling jobs across their network of 5 facilities in Indiana
In addition, SWK learned that the foam fabricator wanted to gain clearer and faster visibility into financial and operational performance KPIs.
After careful analysis, SWK determined that Acumatica Prime Manufacturing Edition would be the best solution to alleviate all these issues and support flexible future growth for the innovative foam fabricator.
Using their proven implementation methodology and deep technical expertise born from decades of supporting ERP solutions, the SWK team quickly and efficiently set up the perfect system for the foam fabricator.
Since implementation, the foam fabricator has enjoyed:
- Flexible, powerful manufacturing tools that improve productivity by streamlining and standardizing processes for both repetitive and custom orders
- Detailed job costing and complete Bill of Materials (BOM) control that helps the fabricator maintain profitability and automatically ensure that all materials are available when scheduling jobs
- Comprehensive, up-to-the-minute KPI dashboard insight into financials and operational performance across all 5 locations
- Leaner, more streamlined inventory management with 360° purchasing and warehouse management capabilities
- Self-service and agile reporting, forecasting, and planning that supports smarter, faster decision-making
Looking Toward a Confident Future
Using their new Acumatica Cloud ERP, the foam fabricator is now empowered to confidently navigate potential uncertainty ahead and stay profitable by tapping into real-time job costing insight, precise inventory management tools, and agile planning capabilities.
As they continue their growth, fully supported by the 4-time Acumatica Partner of the Year award winners at SWK, the fabricator won’t have to worry about buying additional user licenses ever again because Acumatica gives them the freedom to add unlimited users forever.
