Shoptech E2 ERP Casts Quality on Proto-Cast

Aug. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Established in 1959, Proto-Cast specializes in the design and construction of prototype injection molds, hardened steel precision molds for high volume production and short run production. The team of skilled toolmakers, tool designers, and experienced molding personnel enables the company to serve the critical and unique requirements of widespread industrial part application base. Whether requirements call for high volume multi-cavity, or low volume single cavity molds, Proto-Cast is considered a leader.

Proto-Cast selected Shoptech’s E2 ERP solution. “We found E2 to not only be cost effective, but exactly what we were looking for in a manufacturing software program,” noted Joseph J. Gizara of the Douglassville, PA firm.  He went on to note, “We currently use all of the modules from order entry to accounting. We recently acquired the Quality Module and plan on getting to ISO Certifications and I feel the module will help us get and maintain ISO Certification. We have been able to have one person do the scheduling and purchasing so we know exactly what orders are there, and what is needed to fulfill the orders.”

Proto-Cast purchased E2 software several years ago after an extensive search and review of other software packages. Prior to E2 the firm had a hodge-podge of programs running on different computers without a central server.  Gizara said, “Our goal was to get everyone on the same page. E2 has done that and more. Machine shops come in all sizes, from a one-person shop, to those with more than two hundred on staff.”

Some machine shops handle only small quantity orders, while others get into long-running production jobs.  Regardless of size, the common reality of all machine shops is constant change from product quantities to delivery dates and countless other variables. E2, is specifically designed to easily handle these constant changes.

From quotes to orders to shipments, from materials to scheduling to quality, as wells as contact management and accounting functionality, E2 allows for improved efficiencies, greater flexibility, and improved profits.

E2 is for machine shops, job shops, fabrication shops, mold/die shops, screw shops, repair shops, service shops, captive shops, spring manufacturers, stampers, machine builders, and plastic injection molding manufacturers, to name a few.

Pocketview, the traveling command center, allows access to all critical business information, virtually anywhere in the world using a PDA.  Pocket PC or mobile hand-held device allows shop floor operations and lean manufacturing team members to walk the floor collecting real-time data, send messages, and view the entire business enterprise and all mission-critical information.

Through a vast network of regional offices and training centers, and 24/7 technical service center, along with a total commitment to innovation and support, E2 is globally considered the authority of shop floor control.
