Case Study: Weatherite achieves 25% faster front-end processes and improved reporting with M1 ERP

ECi M1 Manufacturing ERP Software Accelerates Front-End Processes by 25% at Air Conditioning Manufacturer

Weatherite Air Conditioning Ltd, a West Bromwich–based HVAC equipment manufacturer, faced unconnected data sources, limited visibility of manufacturing times and an inability to create bills of materials on the fly. After reviewing alternatives to their 12‑year IFS system, the company selected ECi Software Solutions’ M1 manufacturing ERP to provide front‑end flexibility and better integration.

ECi Software Solutions implemented M1 across 30 concurrent users, deploying modules for Estimating & Quoting, Project Management and Call Management and consolidating data from IFS, Pegasus, Excel and Outlook into a single Microsoft SQL–based system. The deployment delivered roughly 25% faster front‑end processes, improved reporting and visibility for purchasing and production, quicker quotation‑to‑order turnaround and more efficient organisation and planning.
