Case Study: Tom-Cin Metals halves order-entry time and saves $70,800/year with JobBOSS

Tom-Cin Metals Selects 1EDI Source and JobBOSS to Streamline Business Efficiencies Through Advanced Technologies

Tom-Cin Metals, a Hortonville, WI custom fabricator, was struggling with manual, labor‑intensive order entry, overscheduling, inventory errors and slow order-status response. To modernize operations they selected 1 EDI Source’s EDI/HQ for EDI translation and data management together with the JobBOSS ERP system to gain visibility, control capacity and eliminate manual processes.

By integrating 1 EDI Source with JobBOSS, Tom-Cin Metals automated order entry and shipping workflows, improving scheduling and visibility across jobs. The company now handles orders in half the time, achieved a 75% time savings in packaging and shipping, cut shipping headcount from two to one (about $50,000/year), saved $20,800/year on order entry, realized total first‑year and ongoing savings of $70,800, and reduced overtime by 80% — all while improving on‑time delivery and customer responsiveness thanks to JobBOSS.
