Industry: Sheet Metal Fabrication
"We were using spreadsheets, creating BOMs in our accounting software, and using JobBoss for some of our manufacturing processes. It was highly inefficient.”
Lori Holjevac
VP of Finance
BMP Metals, Inc. is a custom precision sheet metal fabricator with deep roots in the Brampton community of Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1984, the family-owned and operated business has been ISO9001-certified for nearly 25 years. They take pride in the skills used to complete each complex job in their shop.
BMP‘s focus has shifted from high-volume, repetitive jobs to small-volume, high-complexity projects. They offer custom design, CNC machining, milling and turning, welding, punching, painting, and more. With so many options, it takes a lot of work and focus to manage these processes.
Challenges
- A severe lack of visibility between departments
- Job scheduling inefficiency
- Lacking a streamlined way to estimate costs
- Multiple applications to accomplish a single goal
Solutions
- Spent the time and effort required to research, evaluate and choose the best software solution for their company
- Selected MIE Trak Pro for its comprehensive ERP system and focus on manufacturing
Value Added
- MIE Trak Pro provides access to quality control features such as ECR (engineering change request)
- Visibility of employee training records
- Comprehensive training of management and department heads on MIE Trak Pro enables them to train new staff in the onboarding process
- The Bempro Group now boasts an average annual growth of 30%, thanks to the hard work of management and increased efficiency by incorporating MIE Trak Pro in their business model
The management team at BMP Metals dedicates much of their time and energy to helping employees appreciate the value of MIE Trak Pro tools. By listening to the Shop Floor employees during implementation, they learned which processes were most useful and tailored training to their staff’s needs.
VP Lori Holjevac suggests that anyone considering ERP software for their team focus on their employees’ needs. The BMP team makes sure that every employee receives one-to-one training so they may be able to use the software easily and effectively.
“A winning implementation is one where you listen to your employees’ complaints and frustrations and you help them through it all. Do what you can to turn opposition into advocacy and you will have a much smoother ERP implementation.”
