THE PROBLEM
After the business acquisition, Peczuh purchased an MIS solution that they thought would unify the two companies and provide the transparency they needed. But after two years, they realized they just couldn’t make it work and decided it was time to look for something else.
“To come to the conclusion that we need to abandon this effort was somewhat of a disaster. I’m not a software guy but I knew we had failed and we really had our tails between our legs, we didn’t know what to do.”
THE GOAL
Peczuh wanted a system that could give them transparency across all three production sites, and the technology to help them connect the different parts of their business together. They were also looking for an MIS partner that would provide lots of support to make this project easier - people that would roll up their sleeves and dive in to help them.
HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED
Peczuh now have a system that provides transparency and connectivity across all of the sites within their group. They have full access to the data within their MIS and can easily create custom reports to help them analyze their business data and make informed business decisions, rather than going off gut instinct like they did before.
It’s the first piece of software they have implemented that shows how efficient they are with their estimating and whether they are pricing correctly, based on the costs throughout their production process, which they say is invaluable.
“Tharstern continues to be involved with the ongoing success as we continue to grow the system. Our next steps are to move that system to a more integrated and automated system, throughout our entire organization and Tharstern is playing a part in the success of that.”
