Case Study: Plasan Carbon Composites achieves error-free EDI and renewed focus on core manufacturing with QAD Cloud EDI

Plasan Carbon Composites - Customer Case Study

Plasan Carbon Composites, founded in 2006 and based in Michigan, is a leading North American manufacturer of carbon-fiber automotive components, supplying OEMs like General Motors and Chrysler and reaching nearly $100M in sales. Because correct, error-free EDI exchanges are mission-critical to do business with these automakers, Plasan faced the challenge of meeting strict EDI requirements without diverting resources from its 24/7 manufacturing operations or investing heavily in an in-house EDI team.

Plasan implemented QAD Cloud EDI (alongside QAD Cloud ERP), completing installation and testing in under three months with minimal modification. Outsourcing EDI to QAD provided expert management, reliable error handling and uptime, and reduced in-house EDI effort to about 10% of the systems manager’s time—allowing Plasan to focus on manufacturing, support rapid revenue growth, and pursue further expansion.
