Case Study: Shape Corp. achieves rapid global expansion with Plex Systems

Shape Corp. launches new plants in 2 weeks with Plex Systems

Shape Corp., a major automotive manufacturer, faced challenges with an unwieldy and expensive patchwork of ERP systems that impeded its rapid global growth plans. The company needed a single, integrated solution to replace its multiple systems for maintenance, production, and finance without requiring extensive customization. They selected the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform from vendor Plex Systems to achieve greater agility.

Plex Systems implemented its cloud-based ERP, which provided Shape Corp. with a single source of truth and standardized processes. The results were highly successful; the company replaced 12 disparate systems and could deploy new manufacturing plants in just two weeks. This agility supported their expansion, and the real-time data visibility led to automated reporting, reduced errors, and improved profitability analysis, allowing Shape to model capacity requirements several years into the future.
