Case Study: G&W Products achieves 98% on-time delivery, 25% inventory reduction and 12% higher profitability with Plex Systems

G&W Products a Small Business Manufacturer Thinks Big with Plex

G&W Products is a Fairfield, OH–based contract metal manufacturer (founded 1968) offering stamping, laser cutting, welding, fabrication, powder coating and assembly across 140,000 sq ft with 145 employees. The company’s legacy ERP was difficult to use, forcing paper-based workarounds, poor inventory control and traceability, and slow manual processes for identifying capacity and order status—constraints that threatened G&W’s growth plans.

G&W selected and implemented the Plex Manufacturing Cloud with company-wide buy-in, moving from manual operations to lean, traceable production in under a year. The cloud ERP delivered measurable results: on-time delivery rose from the mid-80s to as high as 98%, inventory fell ~25 to under 40 days on hand, overall PPM dropped to 176, and profitability increased 12%. Built-in quality, fast audit response, improved traceability (including supplier reimbursement for bad material) and remote access across the company were additional benefits.
