Case Study: Diversified Metal Fasteners achieves real-time inventory visibility and streamlined manufacturing with Epitome Software (Ostendo)

Diversified Metal Fasteners - Customer Case Study

Diversified Metal Fasteners (DMF) is an Adelaide-based manufacturer of specialised metal pressings best known for the Carr Fasteners brand. After becoming independent in 2005 the company relied on MYOB and manual data crunching, leaving them reactive and struggling to manage production planning and long lead-times (notably three months for brass). DMF engaged Epitome Software and the Ostendo solution to address its manufacturing and inventory control gaps.

Epitome Software implemented Ostendo integrated with MYOB, provided on-site training, and had the system fully operational within a month with no major issues. The solution delivers real-time visibility of raw materials and finished goods, automatic min/max stock control, accurate online stock levels and easier production scheduling—reducing manual work, enabling proactive planning and helping DMF avoid stock problems on long-lead items.
