Founder and original software developer, David Ferguson was born into the manufacturing family by virtue of his father, owner/operator of a fabrication job shop that is still in operations today. Now, with over 25 years of experience, first working in and then writing software for the fabrication industry, David is considered as an expert in the job shop arena. A sought-after speaker, he has consulted with numerous manufacturing companies around the globe, guiding them to become more efficient and cost-effective.
In the early ’80s, David created and sold his first computer program, Arrow Data Systems, which was a CAD/CAM system for the Apple IIe computer. In the mid-’80s, after seeing his father come home late at night only to begin the estimating process, David saw an opportunity to automate the estimating process through computer technology … The “Quote It” estimating package was born, becoming one of the leading sheet metal estimating packages in the world. Shortly thereafter, David developed the FabriTRAK Production Control Package and through the years it was licensed to both METALSOFT and Amada America.
By the end of 2007 David Ferguson had taken back control of all FabriTRAK licensing agreements, completely re-wrote its production control offering and launched MIE Trak Pro (a state-of-the-art ERP system that is ideal for manufacturing businesses, with modules designed to accommodate most production cycles and optimize the capabilities of repetitive, custom, quick-turn and mixed-mode operations) and, together with Don Clutter launched MIE Solutions.
Since its inception, MIE Solutions has grown to support thousands of users worldwide and, although headquartered in the US, MIE provides software support and services to manufacturing businesses throughout Canada, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
