After two unsuccessful ERP installs, Hinds-Bock needed to find a flexible, all-in-one solution for its complex ETO business platform.
A family-run business founded in 1962 as Philip Bock Corp., Hinds-Bock is a pioneer in air-powered piston filler technology.
Food and cosmetics equipment manufacturing, including both custom equipment for custom production lines and a standard catalog of parts and equipment.
“ When we signed the contract, we went live 3 months to the day.”
Hinds-Bock is dedicated to meeting the needs of food production, bakery, cosmetics, and specialty chemical companies and manufacturing high-quality piston and servo depositing/filling equipment and systems. The company believes in maintaining the quality of its product by controlling all aspects of production.
“One of the things my father told me is that you gotta be careful because if you start relying on other people to manufacture for you, you lose the control and quality you have,” said Gary Hinds, President of Hinds-Bock Corporation. “So if you’re going to be a manufacturer, manufacture. And that stuck with me.”
When it came to an ERP system, the mid-sized manufacturer was looking for a system that would give them control and understanding over every aspect of production, that way they could ensure their high-level of quality. They were specifically looking for an ERP tailored for engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing.
After vetting major ERP systems, conducting key-user interviews, and checking multiple references, Hinds-Bock chose Genius ERP as the best fit as both a partner and as the right solution for long-term success.
Hinds-Bock realized immediate benefits at launch, including a flying start on their newest orders as they went seamlessly from design to production with CAD2BOM. Genius Accounting began handling complex prepayments with ease, and the company connected accounting data with the manufacturing side of operations. “Genius takes a lot of the guesswork out of the numbers,” said Larry Riley, CFO at Hinds-Bock Corporation.
Another big win for Hinds-Bock is the ability to better manage its order and production processes. The company can now view all information associated to one job and track progress efficiently.
“We see an opportunity to grow as a leader,” explained Gary. “An ERP system is critical to achieve this goal, which is why we chose Genius. It’s going to be the base of our growth for the next 5 to 10 years, and we can see great things coming from it.”

Whether you’re looking for your first ERP, or you need a replacement solution, manufacturers just like you have realized the benefits of implementing Genius ERP.
Food and bakery equipment manufacturers build specialized machinery that create our favorite foods. This equipment ranges from industrial ovens and mixers to dough processing machines and food packaging systems. These manufacturers play a crucial role in ensuring that food production is efficient, safe, and capable of meeting large-scale demands while maintaining high levels of quality.
Food and bakery equipment manufacturers must design equipment that is easy to clean, durable, and capable of handling food production environments. Customization is often required to meet the specific needs of different food producers, adding complexity to the production process. Food and bakery manufacturers must also manage complicated orders, meet strict regulatory requirements, and have precise job costing and material tracking to keep production timelines on track and operations profitable and efficient.
An ERP system helps food and bakery equipment manufacturers streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and lower costs by providing a centralized platform for managing production, inventory, compliance, and more. With improved collaboration and oversight across all stages of production, an ERP lets food and bakery equipment manufacturers stay on schedule and within budget while efficiently meeting both customer and regulatory demands.
