Case Study: Comark Corp. achieves streamlined MRP and tighter inventory control with Expandable Software

Comark Corp. - Customer Case Study

Comark Corp. is a long‑established computer manufacturer serving customers such as General Motors and Goodyear, facing a rapidly changing product mix, volatile component pricing and a 10‑year availability guarantee that made accurate tracking difficult. After struggling with multiple disparate systems that lacked integrated MRP and flexible querying, Comark selected Expandable Software’s PC‑based integrated MRP solution, which could be implemented in a few weeks and quoted at about $25,000 for a small deployment.

Expandable Software delivered an integrated MRP system with powerful report‑writing, querying and backflushing capabilities and tight links among MRP, inventory, order entry, purchasing and financials. The result was concise, user‑written weekly reports (one‑ or two‑pages per department), better inventory valuation and control so inventory is kept as low as possible without causing stock‑outs, and a return to Expandable after a costly failed switch to a more expensive package.
