Case Study: General Finishes boosts margins and cuts costs with Mar-Kov Computer Systems

General Finishes cuts inventory 30% with Mar-Kov Computer Systems

General Finishes, a coatings manufacturer, faced challenges managing growth due to multiple manual and insecure systems, including unprotected Excel-based formulations and legacy DOS software. They partnered with vendor Mar-Kov Computer Systems to implement its Batch Control & Inventory Management software to gain control and secure their critical recipes.

Mar-Kov's solution provided a single MRP, ERP, and MES platform that automated data entry and provided secure, trackable data. The results included 30% cost savings, a 30% reduction in inventory, and employees gaining 50% more time for value-added tasks. The software also helped General Finishes diversify its product line and improve cash flow.
