Our Customers are Our Purpose and Our Strength
As soon as jobs are completed everyone knows an order is ready to ship. An email is sent via mobile devices so people throughout the facility are notified no matter where they are. When new jobs are created people can immediately check BOMs and inventory levels, so tools and materials can be ordered within minutes.”
We have everything running through OmegaCube and people across all disciplines interact with the system. If we want to know anything about production, sales, a particular job, maintenance on a job or raw material costs on a job we only have to go to one place to look for it. That’s powerful.”
This was March 2020 and then COVID-19 hit. If we were still using the old FoxPro system and the manual way of operating, I don’t think we could have had everybody go home and work remotely.
With OmegaCube ERP, we were able to work remotely and still operate during the pandemic. Even though we just completed setting up our initial ERP system, our employees were able to run with it while working remotely and that ended up working out great. The system operated efficiently for sales, engineering, and purchasing.
I don’t think we could have done that with the old FoxPro system as we did with OmegaCube ERP. So the timing of implementing OmegaCube ERP was perfect.
