Case Study: Arne’s Welding achieves real-time production control and Lean efficiency with WM Synergy

VISUAL ERP’s blend of Ease of Use, Easy of Data Access and robust functionality, was recognized as the ‘Game Changer’ it is

Arne’s Welding (Arne’s), a 100‑employee engineer‑to‑order trailer manufacturer in Winnipeg, faced an aging system (Inmass), limited ERP expertise, and growing pressure to streamline processes, improve FIFO costing accuracy, enable real‑time reporting, and support near‑100% on‑time delivery. To evaluate and implement the right ERP, Arne’s worked with WM Synergy and selected the VISUAL ERP solution to replace legacy systems and support their Lean culture.

WM Synergy implemented VISUAL ERP—an end‑to‑end solution with MES, CRM, CAD/BOM integration, barcode shop‑floor data collection, parametric estimating, and Lean scheduling—giving Arne’s instant data access, real‑time reporting, and tools to run the business more efficiently. While the case study does not publish specific KPIs, Arne’s reports improved decision‑making, streamlined processes, better throughput and costing accuracy, and a closer alignment of operational performance with their Lean initiatives under WM Synergy’s guidance.
