The Challenge

Pax Machine Works, a 76-year-old Ohio precision metal stamping company operating in 455,000 sq ft, had error-prone paper processes, a slow quoting process, and a legacy system requiring custom programming dependent on a single employee. Management lacked data visibility and employee accountability tracking.

The Solution

Pax implemented Plex Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to replace the custom legacy system, digitize operations, and provide real-time data visibility across manufacturing processes, quoting, and inventory management.

Results

Increased digitization and visibility across all operations. Moved from paper-based to digital processes. Increased accountability for employee responsibilities. Accelerated customer response times through improved quoting and order management.

Key Takeaways

  • Replacing custom legacy ERP with a standardized cloud platform eliminates single-point-of-failure dependencies on specialized employees
  • Digitizing metal stamping operations through ERP improves customer response times and competitive positioning
  • Data visibility from modern ERP enables manufacturers to identify efficiency opportunities that paper-based systems cannot reveal
