Case Study: Hastreiter Industries achieves scalable growth, precise cost tracking and traceability with Realtrac Performance ERP

Hastreiter Industries - Customer Case Study

Hastreiter Industries, a family-run machine shop in Marshfield, WI, grew rapidly after expanding into 5‑axis milling and aimed to scale operations to support a nonprofit training mission. The challenge was that legacy paper, spreadsheets and informal processes could not provide accurate per‑job time and cost tracking, live shop‑floor visibility, or the formal systems needed for ISO 9001 and AS9100 certification.

Hastreiter implemented the RealTrac ERP in 2017, moving quotes directly to the shop floor, using the Shopfloor client for live operator status and time entry, and formalizing routers, inventory tracking and processes. The result: accurate job costing and traceability, easy adoption across the team, minimal implementation strain, certification readiness, and more than fourfold personnel growth since 2016—positioning the company to scale while advancing its community mission.
