Case Study: MFC Netform maintains revenue with half the expected resources with Plex Systems' Cloud ERP

MFC Netform Does Something with the Plex Manufacturing Cloud

MFC Netform, a Shelby, Michigan start-up metalformer spun out of Metal Forming & Coining, faced the challenge of building processes and an ERP system from scratch on a limited budget while attracting customers. With unique flow- and cold-forming technologies and only one part initially, the company needed a way to prove credibility and control production, quality and finances without heavy upfront IT or staffing costs.

By implementing the Plex Manufacturing Cloud from day one, MFC Netform gained real-time shop‑floor-to-top‑floor visibility and automated quality and reporting functions that eliminated the need for on-site IT maintenance and dedicated quality inspectors. The result: the company maintained revenue while using roughly half the resources it expected, reduced scrap and downtime, earned immediate customer credibility, and even prompted the parent company to adopt Plex for standardized, streamlined operations.
