Case Study: Frey & Weiss achieves $120,000 annual savings and 90% job-planning labor reduction with ProShop (Adion Systems)

In Just One Year, Frey & Weiss were Able to Save $120,000 with Proshop

Frey & Weiss is a multi‑generational, family‑run precision machine shop near Chicago that had relied on Epicor Express but still performed many critical functions outside its ERP — including purchasing, job processing, and ISO management — which created heavy overhead and paper job folders. In early 2017 they selected ProShop (ProShop ERP by Adion Systems) to replace their legacy system and address visibility, paper use, and inefficient manual workflows.

Adion Systems configured and imported data into ProShop, trained staff, installed shop terminals at each CNC and helped Frey & Weiss go paperless, enabling real‑time job updates and built‑in alerts. As a result, ProShop freed about three full‑time equivalents, saved over $120,000 in the first year, cut purchasing labor by ~90% (from ~80 hours/week to 6–8 hours/week), eliminated ~10 hours/week spent on paper job folders, and reduced job planning from nearly three people to one, with most jobs processed in under 24 hours.
