Their work is custom, lower-volume, and constantly changing from one job to the next.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company\u2019s previous ERP system was built around standard costing and production-line workflows, which did not fit with their day-to-day operations. And as the business continued to grow, the disconnect between the way the software worked and the way the shop actually worked became harder to ignore.<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>Looking for a Better Fit<\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maass was introduced to Genius ERP several years ago while searching for a system better suited to custom manufacturing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the beginning, Maass felt that Genius ERP was a much better fit for the way their shop operated.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRight from the beginning, I thought that it was well-suited for our type of business. It seemed to be fairly easy to navigate with a user-friendly look and feel, geared to the small custom job shop that we are,\u201d said Darren Dayman, President at Maass Manufacturing. \u201cIt seemed like a perfect fit, and yeah, it&#8217;s been really good. I think everybody here is happy with it.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than working around software designed for high-volume manufacturing, Maass moved to a system that better supported the way their shop actually operated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>A Smooth Transition<\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementing a new ERP system can be disruptive, especially for a smaller manufacturer where teams are already balancing production, purchasing, inventory, and customer demands every day.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Maass, the implementation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geniuserp.com\/en-gb\/resources\/what-is-a-manufacturing-buffer\/\">process<\/a> was more straightforward than expected. The Genius ERP professional services team worked closely with Maass throughout the rollout, taking the time to understand how the company operated and helping resolve issues as they came up during go-live. The implementation focused on adapting the system to support the way the business already operated.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the system is being used across the company, and the transition has gone smoothly.<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>Building Better Visibility Across the Business<\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since implementing Genius ERP, Maass has continued building out the way they use the system across the business.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reporting has become an important area of focus, helping Maass improve visibility into inventory, costs, and sales information. They are also working toward additional improvements, including more advanced inventory management processes and monthly KPI reporting tied to financial performance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a custom manufacturer like Maass, that kind of visibility is important. When every job is different, clearer insight into inventory, costs, and business performance helps make day-to-day planning and purchasing decisions easier to manage.<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>Finding the Right ERP for a Custom Job Shop<\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Maass, the biggest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geniuserp.com\/en-gb\/resources\/what-is-the-difference-between-mrp-versus-erp\/\">difference<\/a> wasn\u2019t simply replacing one ERP with another. It was moving to a system that better matched the reality of how their business actually operates.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of adapting their processes to fit software built for high-volume manufacturing, they found a system designed for the flexibility and complexity of a custom job shop. As they expand their use of reporting, inventory management, and financial visibility tools, they\u2019re continuing to build on that foundation.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See how Maass Flange Canada replaced a poor-fit ERP with a system built for custom, made-to-order manufacturing \u2014 and what changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11425,"template":"","class_list":["post-11424","resources","type-resources","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resources-type-customer-story","resources-topic-erp-en-uk","resources-industries-machinery-equipment-en-uk"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.9) -
