Case Study: Bryco Machine achieves doubled sales and increased profitability with JobBOSS by ECI Software Solutions

Bryco Machine - Customer Case Study

Bryco Machine, a south‑suburban Chicago precision turning shop, was losing work and seeing margins plummet as competition grew and the company shifted into larger, more complex turning work. To gain shop‑floor visibility and improve quoting and costing for its new equipment, Bryco implemented JobBOSS (including JobBOSS Data Collection) from ECI Software Solutions.

By rolling out ECI Software Solutions’ JobBOSS across the business and adding shop‑floor data collection to support lean initiatives, Bryco tightened scheduling and quoting, reduced waste, and improved capacity planning. Results: sales more than doubled (from $3.4M in 2005 to $6.87M in 2008), profits rose from about 2% to 8% in two years, productivity per employee increased roughly 30% (≈$97K to $136–140K), set‑up times fell from ~8 hours to 2.5 hours (≈66% reduction), inventory dropped ~30%, machines run at ~95% capacity, and on‑time delivery remained at about 99%.
