“We only have two IT folks at FloraCraft so not having to manage additional servers and software is a real bonus for us, as is the minimal overhead required to upgrade versions or manage ERP licensing."

"Earlier we would rely on approximation, but now we know exactly how much we’ve produced on any given day and how much more we need to produce. With Plex, we made a paradigm shift from the time we were handling food and raw material lot management on notepads, to the …

“Just as important as the cost savings is the fact that Plex frees up IT’s time to focus on higher-level opportunities Rather than doing day-to-day maintenance on servers, we can work on implementing technologies that help our company take the next step forward.”

"When our customers come in and see the level of traceability we’ve established with Plex, they’re blown away. Many of them say they wish they had that kind of tracking in their own production."

"Plex gives you the ability to access the items that you need from anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, this kind of forward thinking hasn’t hit a lot of smaller manufacturers. You hear them talk about having to run into the facility and calling a certain person to take care of …

"With Plex, we went from having 3,500 sheets of metal on an Excel spreadsheet to only two weeks in raw materials— essentially cutting down our inventory by 25%."

"A big improvement that I see with Plex is the fact that we can do live scheduling. We can now move a job and schedule it in front of another job at a whim or a customer’s request. We couldn’t do that before."

"Our inventory is down at least 20%, and our finished goods and raw material inventory is down by 15%. We’re reducing our inventory, and our cash flow is the best it’s ever been by far."

“Better quality, more efficiencies, and enhanced communication. All those things help us build better relationships with our customers—and that’s what Plex gives us. At the end of the day, I think it’s going to make our future brighter and more competitive as we go forward.”

"Plex is one of the few systems that we found helps us put in so much information that we can use to make better decisions about our business."

“When we also saw Plex’s redundant, bank-vault-designed, and fault-tolerant data centers with security like Fort Knox, we knew our data was in good hands.”

"Quality is the lifeblood of our business because the demand is not just from a compliance standpoint but most importantly from our customers. Our ERP system has to support quality standards because it’s how we remain competitive. Plex gives us the edge over other manufacturers who can’t meet customer requirements …

“Plex enables us to maintain our rapid growth by facilitating collaboration and communication between engineering, development, production, operations, sales, and executive management. With all metrics stored in a single place, we use IntelliPlex analytics to get the information we need—when and where we need it. The dashboards and reporting can …

"The simple fact that our drawings are revision-controlled and available from the Plex control panel, and if any changes are made it’s instantly updated—well, it’s a beautiful thing."

“It reduces the number of calls we get exponentially. Customer portals allow clients to manage their inventory offsite and do their ERP planning based on our inventories, production schedules and finished goods. They now have access [to] a majority of the information they would have once gotten from a sales …
