Case studies
Real engagements with manufacturers and product companies — the questions they needed their numbers to answer, what we built together, and the results.
The questions every manufacturer's numbers should answer
Most manufacturers we meet are doing well — and want clearer answers to a few critical questions. These four companies each started with one of them:
- Which jobs actually make money, and is my quote right? Harrow Fabrication
- Can my finance function keep up with my growth? Tessaline Devices
- Can I trust my margins and see my cash needs coming? Halden Acoustics
- How is each of my locations really performing? Gleco Plating

One more pattern: the right system is the one sized to your business
We've moved clients to a better-fitting system from both directions — down from an oversized SAP implementation and up from QuickBooks. The goal is never a bigger system; it's one sized to what you actually do.
Some client names and identifying details have been changed at the client’s request. Results are unchanged.
