Case Study: SmithCo Manufacturing achieves real-time accurate data and faster job costing with INDUSTRIOS Software

SmithCo Manufacturing - Customer Case Study

SmithCo Mfg. Inc., a Le Mars, Iowa‑based heavy equipment manufacturer of side dump trailers, needed to scale operations while achieving integrated, real‑time, and accurate data across engineering, production, inventory and accounting. To meet that challenge, SmithCo implemented the INDUSTRIOS ERP Manufacturing Suite from INDUSTRIOS, chosen for its SolidWorks/AutoCAD/QuickBooks integrations and strong inventory, purchasing and BOM capabilities.

INDUSTRIOS delivered Inventory, Production Management and BOM functionality plus direct integration with SolidWorks, AutoCAD and QuickBooks, giving SmithCo instant job costing (down from a 2–3 day Excel process), immediate month‑end close (formerly up to a month), improved WIP accuracy, better inventory visibility and managed lead times, and reduced shipping and processing costs. SmithCo reports measurable productivity and efficiency gains, notable ROI that “exceeds dollar value,” and a collaborative vendor partnership with INDUSTRIOS.
