Case Study: Wellman achieves real-time cost visibility and improved profitability with JOBSCOPE

JOBSCOPE Engineer to Order Software Increases Visibility, Profitability

Wellman, part of Wellman Thermal (six companies with ~220 staff and £35m turnover), confronted typical engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing challenges: limited shop‑floor visibility, difficulty tracking actual contract costs, and the need to manage estimating, engineering, scheduling and materials across some 40–50 concurrent contracts. To address these issues they selected Jobscope’s Engineer‑to‑Order (ETO) ERP software as a group‑wide solution.

Jobscope implemented its ETO ERP across all Wellman companies (estimating, jobs/work orders, stock control, dispatch and financials), added shop‑floor data collection and barcoding, KPI alarms and real‑time reporting. The result: immediate visibility of labor and material charged to each job, accurate Estimate‑to‑Complete forecasts, better factory capacity planning, automated requisitions when stock/budgets are breached, and measurable improvements in cost control and profitability—outcomes Wellman says make Jobscope integral to their operations.
