Case Study: CaneKast achieves real-time production visibility and rapid scalability with WM Synergy

CaneKast - Customer Case Study

CaneKast, a 75‑employee manufacturer specializing in non‑ferrous casting, CNC machining, heat treating and finishing, was constrained by decades‑old, disparate ERP systems and shop‑floor equipment that couldn’t capture data or support cloud scheduling. To modernize and support growth across its network of foundries, CaneKast partnered with WM Synergy to deploy Acumatica ERP and integrate tablet‑based data capture and machine automation.

WM Synergy implemented a unified Acumatica platform across all foundries, moved production scheduling to the cloud, enabled self‑service dashboards and in‑house ERP configuration, and added daily reject reporting and unified MRP/order/shipping workflows. The result: Sales-to-Labor Ratio of 11.2%, faster customer responsiveness and new business from existing clients, ability to add acquisitions in weeks instead of months, and real‑time part tracking and decision-ready data across the organization.
