189 Plex Systems Testimonials

“Plex has enabled us to integrate our manufacturing operations with our business. The two entities are no longer separated. If I'm producing out on the floor, I'm doing that in Plex. If I'm receiving, I'm doing it in Plex. If I'm shipping, I'm doing it in Plex. Having real-time information on every aspect of our business is what’s enabling us to reduce our inventory holdings, better track our finished goods, and much more.”

"Since going live on Plex, we’ve been able to sustain up to 100 percent growth year over year while driving down costs."

“Self-awareness of station pace improved drastically by simply displaying a pace board Due to color-coding, we can all see at a glance if we’re running at our required rate. As supervisors walk around the floor, they have the truth right there in front of them. Our operators now feel empowered to share with their supervisors what adjustments need to be made so that they can get up to their ideal rate of production.”

“We preformed multiple tests of EDI connections and labels to ensure the data from our existing systems transferred correctly into Plex, We provided training sessions on all three shifts to ensure there would be adequate support and operators could be productive on the new system from day one.”

"With Plex, plant workers have data at their fingertips, so they can see that what we’re doing makes sense, and they can provide their input on how to do it better. Teams are actually pulling up Plex during meetings to make sure everyone understands our best practices and is focused on continuous improvement."

“The cloud was paramount in our decision, but we had a long list of functionality requirements too, We came across a video that featured a Control+M consultant talking about a Plex implementation and we decided to get in touch with them.”

"A sales tax process that required almost a fully dedicated person now takes maybe 15 minutes per month to manage--and yet we trust our data more than ever.”

"We can now check the current status of any job out on the floor, see exactly what we’ve got in inventory, monitor who’s on which machine, and access records from any workstation in the company. Rather than wasting our time digging through paperwork, we can find answers and make changes to the production schedule on screen in seconds. Even after a year on the system, we’re still finding better and better ways to increase our efficiency with Plex."

"Our partners at Control+M went module by module in the Plex platform, walking us through the possibilities and backing everything up with real-life examples, Our dedicated Control+M consultant really got to know our business processes as if he were an employee. He pushed us to rethink the way we do things so that we could not only get the most out of Plex but also dramatically increase our efficiency.”

“Areas such as accounts receivable and customer billing are so much more efficient with Plex, I’d estimate there’s a 40 to 50 percent time savings in accounting—which frees up staff to help out with activities such as quoting, which will help us land new business. If we hadn’t switched to Plex, we almost certainly would have had to add another member to our office staff by now.”

"To me, the biggest benefit with Plex is the ability to grow with existing resources. Once processes are configured and implemented properly, we can easily take on additional work knowing that tasks such as document generation, invoicing, and document control will be automated."

“The master production plan was a printout with a schedule handwritten on it, When we would get together for meetings twice a week, one person would have that ‘master’ schedule in his back pocket and nobody else in the room would know that there had been changes to it. It’s no wonder that we had no way of tracking our ability to meet commitments.”

"This product has become such an integral part of the business and everybody in our production office is using it every single day. It’s really just been a huge jump for Thai Summit in going from no visibility to full visibility on the floor, and even automating some processes such as labeling."

"DemandCaster has got to be one of the easiest systems I’ve ever worked in as far as planning, so innovative and person-friendly.”

“Plex has so much capability, you don’t want to bite off more than you can chew. Stay focused on what is needed to operate the business and launch and then build on from there.”
