Case Study: Harold Johnson Optical Laboratories achieves 30-40% savings in estimate calculation costs with SYSPRO ERP Software

Harold Johnson Optical Labs 30-40% Savings in Estimate Calculation Costs

Harold Johnson Optical Laboratories, a Gardena, California optics manufacturer founded in 1967, produces custom, precision optics with complex, multi-step jobs and strict inspection requirements. Facing a manually managed, home‑grown work‑in‑process system and time‑consuming, error‑prone estimating, the company selected SYSPRO ERP Software and installed SYSPRO (initially on UNIX) to gain off‑the‑shelf job‑shop accounting, estimating and WIP functionality.

SYSPRO ERP Software’s implementation integrated job estimating with work‑in‑process and automated time sheets, machine run times, job tracking, accounts receivable and payable, and quoting. As a result, Harold Johnson Optical Laboratories realized 30–40% savings in estimate calculation costs, a 30–40% increase in combined efficiency, and more than a 20% improvement in job‑tracking speed, while improving customer service and estimating accuracy.
