Case Study: Rehrig Pacific Company achieves $1M+ inventory cost savings in one year with UpKeep

Rehrig Pacific Company Saves More Than a Million Dollars in One Year

Rehrig Pacific Company, a manufacturer operating seven plants, struggled with virtually no centralized inventory control—relying on spreadsheets and tribal knowledge—which caused wasted time searching for parts and risked production stoppages. National Reliability Manager John Fini selected UpKeep’s intuitive CMMS and inventory control platform for its usability, capabilities, and customer support to solve those problems.

UpKeep was piloted at the Kansas facility and rolled out nationally in three phases (workflow management, inventory control, and technician scheduling) with focused data cleanup, training, and local administrators. Using UpKeep’s centralized database and mobile interface, Rehrig Pacific Company uncovered more than $1 million in inventory reduction opportunities (for example, identifying $1.4M vs. $500K in parts for certain machines), dramatically cut wasted hours, improved maintenance tracking, and is now working with UpKeep to add verification and automated work-order triggers.
