Case Study: Skills Inc achieves 510% sales order growth and streamlined production with WM Synergy

Growth soars at Skills Inc. with Infor VISUAL

Skills Inc is an Auburn, WA–based contract manufacturer in the aerospace and defense sector that employs over 400 people, including persons with disabilities. Facing rapid growth, increased sub-assembly complexity and the need to better manage raw materials and finished goods for build-to-stock orders, Skills Inc engaged WM Synergy to implement Infor VISUAL and establish standardized processes for purchasing and production timing.

WM Synergy deployed Infor VISUAL and streamlined inventory, purchasing and production scheduling so orders enter the shop at the right time, enabling economic order quantities and improved demand visibility. As a result, Skills Inc saw sales orders from its largest build-to-stock customer jump 510%, assembly orders rise 174%, workforce expand more than 42%, on-time delivery improve dramatically, and teams shift from “fighting fires” to driving higher revenue.
