Case Study: Ventura Manufacturing achieves faster, more reliable global production with DELMIAworks

IQMS Enables Ventura’s Growth by Scaling Production with Greater Speed and Reliability

Ventura Manufacturing is a Zeeland, Michigan–based semi‑automated assembly and production company with plants in the U.S., Hungary, Mexico and China serving automotive, furniture, seating and optical silicone markets. As global demand grew, the company’s single on‑premise ERP instance became a bottleneck: IT struggled to scale support across multiple time zones, routine plant MRP runs took two hours, and the team needed better availability and disaster‑recovery (RTO 8 hours, RPO 15 minutes).

Ventura moved to IQMS Hosted Managed Services, shifting platform and infrastructure to a secure data center while retaining perpetual software licenses and browser access to key metrics. The hosted solution cut corporate MRP from two hours to eight minutes, reduced some report times by up to 50%, improved EDI throughput and disaster‑recovery posture, and provided the speed and scalability needed to expand global operations and optimize plant scheduling.
