The solution
After evaluating several options, Loos chose Genius ERP for its manufacturing-first design and its ability to integrate with their existing processes. From the outset, the Genius team focused on understanding how Loos operates, tailoring demonstrations and implementation to reflect real-world workflows.
One of the most immediate improvements came from CAD2BOM. Engineering data now flows directly from SolidWorks into Genius ERP, automatically generating accurate bills of materials for production and purchasing. This eliminated manual BOM entry, reduced errors, and cut engineering and data entry time.
Estimating also improved dramatically with Genius Excel Estimator. Instead of relying on manually maintained spreadsheets, Loos can now build estimates using real historical costs and live data from the ERP. This has shortened quote turnaround times, improved accuracy, and increased confidence in pricing without requiring multiple internal reviews.
On the project management side, Genius ERP brought structure and visibility to complex, long-lead projects. Project managers can now view multiple projects at once, track milestones, monitor budgets and labour hours, and identify at-risk jobs earlier. Information from estimating flows directly into project execution, reducing rework and improving continuity.
From a financial perspective, built-in revenue recognition has simplified how Loos tracks and reports revenue. Revenue can be monitored throughout the life of a project rather than waiting until period-end, improving visibility, accuracy, and reducing the need for spreadsheets.
Across the organisation, reporting and analytics have become faster and more reliable. With live data flowing through a centralised system, Loos has greater confidence in their numbers and better insight into job performance, project trends, and overall financial health.
With Genius ERP in place, Loos is well-positioned for continued growth. Over the past five years, the company has expanded into new markets and experienced strong growth. With better visibility into costs, capacity, and performance, they can continue to innovate, scale, and support their customers with confidence.
