Case Study: Tucker Toys achieves scalable global production and faster project rollout with ProjectManager

Manufacturing Zoingo Boingo® and Other Awesome Toys with ProjectManager.com

Tucker Toys, a New Jersey toy designer and manufacturer known for products like Zoingo Boingo and the Phlat Ball, experienced phenomenal sales growth two years running and needed a better way to manage increasingly complex, multi‑phase production, testing for safety compliance, and global sales and marketing operations. Kathlene Pettycrew, a former systems process manager, needed a cloud-based project tool that could be deployed quickly, avoided the lengthy training of Microsoft Project, and tracked projects end-to-end from concept to ship.

They implemented ProjectManager.com using ready-made templates that were easy to tweak, linked tasks to simplify collaborative scheduling, and allowed attachments of invoices, purchase orders and shipment notes for sales. The team adopted the tool in minutes, Pettycrew rolled it out rapidly across global operations serving 47 countries, and the company gained clear, efficient tracking across development, manufacturing and sales—supporting continued growth without the long training curve.
