Case Study: Molded Fiber Glass Companies achieves ERP visibility and EDI-driven efficiency with E2B Teknologies and Sage 500

MFG Companies Reinforce Enterprise Business Systems with e2b & Sage 500

Molded Fiber Glass Companies (MFG), a diversified manufacturer of fiber glass reinforced plastic products, was struggling with an outdated and unsupported ERP system. This legacy system limited their ability to serve major automotive customers like Freightliner, particularly due to a lack of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capabilities. Facing the potential loss of millions in business, MFG turned to their long-time partner, e2b Teknologies, for a solution involving Sage 500 ERP.

e2b Teknologies implemented Sage 500 ERP with a fully integrated EDI system, which was critically customized to meet the complex, line-sequenced just-in-time requirements of Freightliner. This solution not only saved the North Carolina plant from closure and secured the Freightliner contract, but it also provided company-wide visibility into costs and inventory. The implementation standardized operations across most of MFG's 16 locations, drastically improved efficiency, and provided the scalable framework needed to support new ventures in the wind energy sector. e2b’s deep industry knowledge and responsive support were key to the successful partnership.
