Manufacturers Industrial Group (MIG)

MIG utilizes Solarsoft to improve customer performance, enhance vendor control, optimize resources and reduce cost

MIG, a Tier-2 supplier of welded assemblies, virtually eliminates mislabeled parts and dramatically improves order accuracy with Solarsoft’s integrated EDI, real-time production reporting, and serialized bar code labeling functionality. “We rely very heavily on our integrated EDI and that’s where Solarsoft iVP really shines,” says Kyle Putnam, Director of IT.

With Solarsoft, MIG saves significant time by eliminating paper-based requisitioning and purchase approvals. Purchase orders are generated in Solarsoft and automatically routed to the appropriate people for approval prior to an order being placed. POs are then matched to invoices.

Similarly, Solarsoft automatically applies customer payments to invoices, replacing a manual process that took nearly a day. With the efficiencies facilitated by Solarsoft, MIG was able to consolidate all accounting functions for both MIG companies into one centralized department in Lexington, TX.

For MIG, Solarsoft's ERP solution affords the company the following benefits:

• 30% reduction in materials planning overhead
• Dramatic improvement in order accuracy
• Multi-plant/multi-company capabilities enable central management of 3 plants and 2 distinct companies
• Nearly 100% on-time delivery
• Full materials traceability on thousands of purchased parts
• Reduced inventory levels.
