Case Study: XL Machine achieves streamlined operations and inventory control with ECI Software Solutions' JobBOSS ERP

JobBOSS ERP Facilitates Continual Process Improvement for Forward-looking, Awardwinning Job Shop

XL Machine, an award-winning, high-volume job shop in Three Rivers, MI, was losing visibility into inventory, costs, and scheduling and risked substantial product and financial losses without an integrated system. To solve this, XL Machine chose JobBOSS ERP from ECI Software Solutions for its accounting integration and ability to track inventory, labor, costing and scheduling across the shop floor.

ECI Software Solutions deployed JobBOSS along with KnowledgeSync monitoring and on-site JobBOSS consulting/Business Process Assessment to automate workflows, tighten inventory and accounting controls, and standardize processes. The result: immediate gains in efficiency and visibility, a full-time scheduler using JobBOSS for capacity and costing, automated notifications that reduce idle time (estimated savings of about “a dollar a minute”), elimination of many Excel-based tasks, and measurable improvements in job planning, machine utilization and profitability.
