Case Study: By the Yard achieves greater inventory control and streamlined manufacturing with MISys Manufacturing

By the Yard - Customer Case Study

By the Yard is a Minnesota-based manufacturer of maintenance‑free outdoor patio furniture and accessories that had outgrown Excel spreadsheets for inventory tracking. The company relied on QuickBooks for accounting, so it needed an MRP solution that would integrate smoothly with its existing systems while handling full manufacturing processes.

In 2009 By the Yard implemented MISys Manufacturing, which provided inventory control, MRP functionality and strong QuickBooks integration while encouraging production best practices. The software helped them streamline operations, produce more accurate and flexible reports, and save time and money—resources they now reinvest to grow the business.
