Case Study: RiverSide Electronics achieves faster production cycles and increased efficiency with Epicor ERP

Real-Time Analytics For Increased Manufacturing Efficiencies

RiverSide Electronics, a 300-employee contract electronics manufacturer in Lewiston, Minnesota with more than 30 years serving agricultural, medical, and industrial OEMs, needed a cost-competitive, feature-rich ERP that could mine and analyze centralized data in real time. Operating two facilities as a single virtual plant left the company unable to track material/status across sites, limiting visibility and squeezing already tight profit margins.

After a companywide Epicor ERP implementation, RiverSide gained real-time analytics and centralized data that improved production cycles by 11 days at one facility and 4–5 days at the other, eliminated bottlenecks, and increased capacity without new equipment. The solution improved inventory and purchasing management, reduced waste, enabled instant customer and interdepartmental communications, and boosted revenues by optimizing parts and material usage and providing traceability down to individual components.
