Case Study: Lucas Metal Works achieves real-time visibility and time savings with ABIS, Inc (MetalEZ)

Lucas Metal Works - Customer Case Study

Lucas Metal Works, a family-run metal fabrication and supply business founded in 1968, expanded over decades into product lines like the Ground Hog tool and steel building components. As the company grew, legacy invoicing and a failed 2009 BOM system left them without reliable sales, inventory and traceability controls, prompting a search for a more robust solution.

After evaluating options, Lucas implemented Adjutant (MetalEZ) and went live in June 2013. The user-friendly system delivered immediate time savings, integrated BOMs directly from their design program, and full coil-to-building traceability with real-time visibility — improvements that reduced paperwork, improved control and set the company up to add barcode-driven production enhancements and scale more confidently.
