Case Study: S & S Hinge Company achieves 30% lower inventory carrying costs and 75% faster quoting with Sage ERP X3

S & S Hinge Company Makes A Successful Swing To Sage ERP X3

S & S Hinge Company, a family-owned industrial hinge manufacturer in Bloomingdale, Illinois, needed to modernize production and replace three disconnected systems that handled quoting, scheduling, CRM and accounting as part of a lean manufacturing initiative. To achieve a single, integrated platform that could support custom build-to-order and stock production, S & S Hinge Company selected Sage ERP X3.

Sage ERP X3 was implemented to consolidate systems, automate quoting and routing, improve cost tracking and enhance forecasting. As a result, S & S Hinge Company cut inventory carrying costs by 30% (freeing up over $500,000), increased inventory turns by 20%, reduced quote turnaround time by 75% (40–50 quotes/day with two people), added more than 100 customers in a year, and expects a full ROI in under five years.
