Raglan Industries, Inc. designs and manufactures custom trailers for a variety of needs and industries. The 3rd-generation, family-run company prides itself on delivering quality products and excellent customer service.
Founded in 1959 as a welding shop serving primarily local farmers, today, Raglan’s diverse product line includes hopper dumps, end dump trailers, ejectors, flatbeds, heavy haul floats, frameless dumps, gravel packers, live bottoms, pony dumps, rock boxes, scrap haulers, tanks, and truck boxes.
Raglan’s 85,000 square foot manufacturing plant is located on a 20-acre property in Oshawa, Ontario. With a focus on innovative design to meet the changing demands and requirements of the trailer industry, Raglan serves customers across the US and Canada. In addition to manufacturing new builds, Raglan also repairs construction and farm equipment, and sells spare parts.
As a custom trailer manufacturer that orders parts and materials specific to jobs (including long-lead items), and one that also manages repair and spare-parts sales departments, Raglan’s front office handles an enormous amount of information and accounting.
It was clear the company’s legacy ERP system wasn’t capable of growing with the company. While transitioning to the 3rd generation of management, Raglan sought to implement a new software system that would allow it to increase output while maintaining costs.
“To decrease the time from order placement to delivery, we knew we had to move away from the use of so much paper and transition towards computerized operations across our factory,” said Erin McClain, administrator at Raglan Industries and granddaughter of the company’s founder.
The new ERP system had to handle unique design-to-production steps for this custom trailer manufacturer. It also needed to sort out and organize all accounting and planning across Raglan’s three streams of revenue: new builds, repairs, and spare parts. Each had different pricing structures as well.
Genius ERP s’est avéré le choix de Raglan, leur permettant de réaliser la croissance stratégique de l’entreprise, et de conserver leur avantage concurrentiel à travers leurs 3 sources de revenus.
« Nous avons fini par choisir Genius, car il était évident que le logiciel pouvait combler nos besoins techniques », nous dit McClain. « Une visite du représentant Genius a confirmé le tout, car sa compréhension de nos besoins et de notre vison était clairement en évidence. »
Déjà durant l’intégration, Raglan a pu constater une amélioration des processus opérationnels, tel que la simplification des achats, et la compilation des feuilles de temps directement à partir des écrans Genius ERP placés sur le plancher d’usine.
« Nous sommes confidents d’avoir trouvé en Genius un partenaire pour concrétiser notre croissance à long terme. » Erin McClain
