Case Study: Rite in the Rain achieves $1M in freed working capital and 38% lower inventory costs with ECI Software Solutions' Macola 10

Realizing $100K in savings by cutting quote creation time by 20%

Rite in the Rain, a Tacoma-based print manufacturer, faced growing pains from an outdated legacy ERP and needed real-time inventory visibility, more efficient workflows, and a modern system to support growth. The company selected Macola 10 from ECI Software Solutions to replace its legacy Macola ES and address these challenges.

ECI Software Solutions implemented Macola 10 with Shop Floor Controls, Material Resource Planning (MRP) and scheduling to improve planning and workflows. The deployment freed about $1 million in working capital, cut inventory costs by 38%, increased inventory turns by roughly 27%, and delivered $100K in annual savings by reducing quote creation time by 20%, while delivering better visibility and predictability across raw materials, WIP and finished goods.
