Electronics test equipment manufacturer
Like many mid-market manufacturers in every industry, Micro Control relied on a large number of manual, time-consuming and potentially error-prone processes to run the business, design its products and manage production. It was time for a modern ERP.
Challenges
- Reliance on manual processes and spreadsheets for planning and WIP tracking
- Needed to accurately manage unique configurations, inventory control, accurate cost tracking, configuring and quoting
- Managed parts-buying separately on spreadsheets
- Reliance on non-documented ‘tribal knowledge’
- Financial processes needed an overhaul to eliminate manual work, enable easier and faster access to critical information, and provide modern analytics and reporting
About the Company

“Ultra added some necessary structure to hold the vendors accountable. Normally, vendors just show you what they think you want to see. Ultra held them to a script, which is essential for narrowing a long list down to a short list.”
— Tim Plummer, IT Director, Deschutes Brewery
