Case Study: Creative Foam Corporation achieves 95% inventory accuracy and six paper-free plants with Plex Systems' Cloud ERP

Leading Foam Fabricating Products Supplier Achieves 95 Percent Inventory Accuracy

Creative Foam Corporation, founded in 1969 in Fenton, Michigan, is a supplier of foam fabricating products serving the automotive, medical and composite industries from seven plants across the U.S. The company relied on an aging AS400 ERP that left manufacturing processes fragmented, with poor traceability, time-consuming manual inventory and shop-floor reporting, and limited real-time visibility needed for growth.

Creative Foam replaced its legacy system with Plex Cloud ERP across all seven facilities in under a year, enabling real-time tracking, supplier collaboration via a supplier portal, and paperless shop-floor operations. The implementation delivered tangible results: inventory accuracy climbed to 95%, six plants went 100% paper-free, physical inventory cycles were shortened, and standardized, drilled-down OEE reporting improved downtime, scrap and productivity visibility.
