Specialty Ring Products is a family business founded in 1890. The company is a leading provider of high performance quality forgings and machining for the aerospace, defense and bearing industries – bringing technical expertise, exacting manufacturing capabilities, certified quality processes, and production flexibility that has earned Specialty Ring its reputation as a reliable and integral partner to some of the biggest names in the industries it serves.
For years, the company operated with an ERP system that was not very efficient. Employees were filling out production cards by hand, and everything from cost analysis to production analysis were inefficiently maintained due to a lagging, lacking ERP platform. Looking for better operational processes, the company chose CompuData and Epicor as its technology partners because, as Specialty Ring President Alex Jennings reports “they understood manufacturing and could relate to a company of Specialty Rings’s size.”
“Our margins went through the roof once we started using our new ERP system – working with CompuData and Epicor was seamless,” Jennings states. “Putting in a new ERP system isn’t just a one and done, it’s a living thing, but when you’re looking at your numbers at the end of the month you want to believe them – and using this new system from Epicor has given us total faith in our ERP system.”
