Director of Operations
MetalWorks Engineering Corporation was founded by Igor Kotlyar and Michael Silva in 2011. They jumped at the opportunity to start a company of their own after working for a different manufacturer. Ten years later they run their business with the motto “no fabrication job is too big or too small”.
From the start, Igor and Michael worked hard to find and implement an ERP system. As a previous user of the MIE Trak software, Igor knew he had to include it in their shortlist when evaluating ERP products.

Soon after they purchased MIE Trak 32, the MIE Solutions development team released an updated version of the software called MIE Trak Pro. Igor worked closely with the software developers to customize the system for their business. With MIE Trak Pro in its early stages, Igor was willing and able to help with feature development—making suggestions that are now integral to the overall software.
As a start-up, they had a limited budget and were relieved to find a solution that met their business requirements and their cost point. To be successful and thrive in a competitive industry, they knew they needed a reliable ERP system in place. Being able to purchase one or two licenses at a time, instead of an entire 10-user package, was a game-changer for them.
“If we weren’t using ERP, we would not have a company right now.”
