A M1 Case Study
Brooks Forgings, a leading UK manufacturer of forged, fabricated and machined components, faced stiff market competition and an aging ERP that hindered inventory control and customer data management. To modernize operations, Brooks Forgings implemented the M1 ERP solution from ECI Software Solutions, replacing their unsupported legacy system and enabling seamless migration of existing data.
ECI Software Solutions delivered M1 ERP with additional modules (including Time & Attendance, scheduling, job costing and inventory control) and customization to automate core processes and provide real‑time KPIs. As a result, Brooks Forgings improved traceability, inventory and customer-contact management, shortened lead times and increased turnover over the last decade without materially expanding sales or clerical staff—evidence of measurable efficiency and business growth driven by ECI Software Solutions.
