A M1 Case Study
Hydro-Dyne Engineering, a custom manufacturer of screening equipment for water and waste management, needed a way to manage highly unique projects, maintain full in‑house control of design and fabrication, and sustain rapid growth (25–75% annually) without profit‑draining errors or extra overhead. To meet those needs the company selected the M1 ERP solution (ECi M1) to centralize information and give managers real‑time visibility across sales, engineering, and production.
M1 was implemented in a five‑month rollout with a one‑time data conversion and training, and quickly saw company‑wide adoption without requiring a dedicated IT staff. ECi M1 centralized workflows, improved manufacturing efficiency and decision‑making, and enabled Hydro‑Dyne to continue growing profitably—supporting continued 25–75% annual increases while “keeping us growing without adding overhead,” according to the company.
