New Zealand Manufacturer More Profitable in 18 Months with ERP | Global Shop Solutions
Summary
Headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, Heat Treatments provides a reliable one-stop sourcing solution for manufacturers needing specialized engineered parts. According to General Manager Fergus Thomson, Global Shop Solutions’ ability to seamlessly handle multiple business streams in an integrated system played a key role in the decision to buy the software. “Our overriding goal with the new ERP system was to manage direct resources – staffing costs, equipment, and machine tools – more effectively, and Global Shop Solutions proved to be a perfect fit for the manufacturing side of the business right out of the box,” says Thomson. “It allows us to map and track work within the machine shop in real-time, enabling us to capture labor and job costing with greater accuracy. “After we got comfortable using the basic features of the software, we began customizing some processes and reporting using GAB and Dashboards,” he says.
