Fairway Products streamlines processes and Inventory Control with INDUSTRIOS manufacturing software

OAKVILLE, Ontario - May 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Oakville, Ontario, May 28, 2013 – Fairway Products, a leading producer of unique non-apparel products for the automotive, marine, furniture, industrial and consumer markets, recently streamlined processes and improved cost effectiveness throughout their operations.  INDUSTRIOS Software, Inc., developer of INDUSTRIOS manufacturing software integrated with Sage 300 ERP, answered this call.

Fairway Products and INDUSTRIOS share a long and valued history, so when they needed to improve processes and data visibility, they relied on the strengths and integration of INDUSTRIOS.  Valuable features enable tightly controlled inventory.  With material planning and mobile units, Fairway uses bar coding and mobile transactions to monitor complete inventory movement including defined data collection points.  Data entry errors were also eliminated, and inventory counts are now accurate and timely.

INDUSTRIOS’ Time Card Management features have resulted in impressive gains at Fairway.  Savings of time, money and the removal of errors have provided an efficient use of resources within the company. Payroll is now produced efficiently and accurately, with an average of twenty-five hours per week saved in the correction of time cards.  By leveraging streamlined time card and payroll processes, Fairway has experienced an 80% reduction in overall Payroll workload, with further improvements anticipated.

The effects are seen throughout the company.  Kathleen Ellis, Human Resources Manufacturing, said, “By capturing all costs associated with our manufacturing processes, including overhead and labor  burden with INDUSTRIOS, we now have confidence in our cost of goods sold and can do a better job of evaluating our costs. ”  These enhancements have decreased the number of hours required to calculate the data, eliminated time card records corrections and cross-checking while resulting in time and cost savings.  Complete and accurate data is now readily available for examination at all times.

Fairway Products is also enjoying the benefits from having all payroll information in one place, the ability to generate reports and the easy accessibility of information.  All within one solution: INDUSTRIOS.
