Case Study: ASC Pty Ltd achieves faster reporting and on-time submarine fleet readiness with Cincom CONTROL ERP

ASC Pty Ltd Transforms Business with Cincom

ASC Pty Ltd, Australia’s largest locally owned defence company, is responsible for keeping the Collins Class submarine fleet ready and serving as lead shipbuilder for the Hobart‑class Air Warfare Destroyers. As ASC shifted from construction to long‑term submarine maintenance while simultaneously managing multi‑site AWD block construction and a complex supplier alliance, it needed flexible, up‑to‑date IT systems to provide real‑time project status, cost control and coordination so vessels remain available and delivered on schedule.

ASC implemented Cincom CONTROL ERP with the Project Costing module and ASC‑specific customizations (later productized), giving integrated data, real‑time reporting and supplier collaboration across sites. The system cut report production from six weeks to five days, enabled instant verification of on‑time/on‑budget status, freed staff for higher‑value analysis, simplified payroll billing, improved resource allocation and bidding capability, and helped deliver recent maintenance projects on or ahead of schedule.
