Case Study: SmithCo Manufacturing achieves real-time labor visibility and streamlined payroll with INDUSTRIOS Software

SmithCo Manufacturing - Customer Case Study

SmithCo Mfg. Inc., a Le Mars, Iowa–based manufacturer of side dump trailers, needed integrated, accurate real‑time time and attendance and labor costing across complex shop‑floor operations. An established customer of INDUSTRIOS, SmithCo was using the INDUSTRIOS integrated ERP Manufacturing Suite (with integrations to SolidWorks, AutoCAD and QuickBooks) but required better real‑time visibility and automation for time & attendance.

INDUSTRIOS implemented its Time and Attendance functionality within the INDUSTRIOS ERP—introducing barcode-based clocking, automatic labor-cost assignment, real‑time job-hour visibility, and streamlined ADP payroll uploads. The result: fewer manual adjustments, faster payroll processing, clear tracking of direct vs. indirect/rework hours, improved job costing and production efficiency, and measurable time and cost savings for SmithCo thanks to INDUSTRIOS’ solution and ongoing partnership.
