Case Study: Metra achieves real-time control of 2,000 projects and cuts tool downtime with Vero Software's WorkPLAN

WorkPLAN Controls 2,000 Projects for Metra

Metra is a 90‑year‑old precision machining, tooling and mold company with about 100 employees operating from two French and one Tunisian plant. Facing complex multi‑line orders and the need to manage roughly 2,000 projects a year, Metra needed tight control of workshop costs, strict adherence to tooling lead times to avoid supply‑chain interruptions, faster quoting and clearer budget visibility across departments.

Since adopting Vero Software’s WorkPLAN ERP, Metra centralized quoting, BOMs, production planning and traceability, added an Excel interface for quick off‑site quotes and deployed touch‑screens for real‑time shop‑floor tracking. The system eliminated cutting‑tool downtime, accelerated quote response and budget checks, integrated QC into Lean processes and helped cut non‑quality costs from €200,000 in 2010 to €60,000 in 2015 while improving overall process reuse and traceability.
