189 Plex Systems Testimonials

“We felt Plex was a much better fit for us because it is designed specifically for manufacturers.”

"With Plex, our inventory accuracy has risen to 98 percent, and because everything is barcoded, we know exactly where it’s located. Our inventory data is so accurate that we don’t even need to do physical checks on our raw materials anymore."

"We needed to do this right. We went through two iterations on a system that would help us with inventory—and they were expensive—so we didn’t want to go down that road again and not be happy with it in two years. Plex kept rising to the top because it is 100% cloudbased and it fit our needs as a food and beverage manufacturer."

“I would recommend that anyone needing to learn Plex take the time to attend Boot Camp.”

"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 present, where with a few clicks, we can find out which lot our customers have. Now we use barcode labeling and scanning processes to identify and track all products. Everything runs much more smoothly and inventory is tracked at virtually 100 percent accuracy.”

“Our quality staff are very happy with Plex because they’re completely confident that the system accurately records all of the most critical information about our products and processes.”

“[The quality staff is] now doing statistical analysis that was difficult to do before, which enables them to go on the production floor and stop processes that are generating out-of-specification products. Based on this improvement, we’ve been able to reduce scrap rates from 2.5 percent to 1.5 percent.”

“Paying premium freight used to be a huge expense for us. It amounted to about 0.7% of our total sales. With Plex, we’ve basically eliminated those costs in just two years, while achieving nearly 100% on-time delivery for our customers.”

“When a company is evaluating us as a potential partner and they visit our facilities and notice the level of control process investment we’ve made, they see us in a whole new light. They start to take us seriously as a partner that can deliver products with outstanding electrical performance.”

“Audits no longer make us nervous because we know we can access all the information we need right away. They can see for themselves how strong our processes and controls are. Our supply chain partners can also recognize how much our processes have matured. Implementing Plex has put us into a whole new category as a company.”

“We have more than 100 employees using Plex on a daily basis, and they’ve found the system to be very user-friendly. Once our first wave of users experienced greater control over production quality and engineering, they requested we roll it out across our operations—right down to the production floor. They continue to contribute new ideas on processes that we can move to Plex to make them more efficient.”

“With the improvements we’ve made through Plex, we now see ourselves as manufacturing leaders. We’re a tier-one supplier to the electric vehicle industry, and with that comes an expectation of highly productive processes and high-performing products. Plex plays a crucial role in enabling us to create value for our customers.”

“[Plex] enables us to continue to innovate in an Industry 4.0 world so that we can help our customers to do the same.”

“As we make products, we now maintain a real-time view of our inventory right there on the fly. So we have a true picture of inventory for both raw materials and finished products. Our cycle counts are also much more accurate because people are recording production right when they perform it, rather than leaving it for someone else to punch it in later.”

“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.”
