Case Study: Cadence, Inc. achieves enterprise-wide integration and streamlined production with WM Synergy and VISUAL Enterprise

Diversified manufacturer of precision incision and piercing products brings all facets of their business together with VISUAL

Cadence, Inc., a diversified manufacturer of precision incision and piercing products, was growing rapidly through new business and acquisitions but was running operations with spreadsheets and standalone tools that left order entry, planning, procurement and accounting disconnected. To gain an integrated, enterprise-wide system, Cadence chose VISUAL Enterprise and engaged WM Synergy to deploy and support the solution.

WM Synergy implemented VISUAL Enterprise—leveraging core MRP, Global Financials, Time & Attendance and the VISUAL Bar Code System—to replace manual processes with integrated order-to-work-order planning, automated material procurement, labor tracking and WIP scanning. The result was tighter operational control, easier matching of purchase orders to work orders, simpler allocations and engineering-change management, and measurable improvements in material availability and reporting that Cadence describes as “night-and-day,” delivering greater ROI with ongoing WM Synergy support.
