Indiana Coil and Strip Producer Banks on New ERP System

December 1, 2008

Stripco Inc., Mishawaka, IN, a manufacturer of production-ready steel coils and strip, recently went in search of software to help it gain real-time scheduling information and complete cost-of-sales information, in order to continue to efficiently serve its customers in the automotive, furniture and other steel-consuming industries. Its primary goals: improve in the areas of costing, production scheduling and tracking, and steel-industry-specific quality and certification.

To accomplish those goals, it recently implemented Axiom ERP enterprise-resource-planning software from Axis, Marlborough, MA. As a result, according to Stripco general manager Eric Hiler, the firm now responds significantly faster to customer inquiries regarding order status, and with access to real-time information on quality, holds, shipping and billing, it can “identify and act on statistically relevant information, rather than just acting on a whim,” says Hiler.
