Pressform Engineering ERP Software Case Study

This case study details the implementation of Global Shop Solutions ERP software at Pressform Engineering, a metal fabrication company based in Bassendean, Western Australia. Founded in 1976, Pressform faced challenges in accurately measuring key performance metrics such as job costing, inventory management, and labor performance. The ERP system was adopted in 2016 to enhance data tracking and management efficiency. The software has enabled Pressform to measure direct and indirect labor costs accurately, streamline purchasing processes, and maintain optimal inventory levels. Notably, the company reported a gross profit percentage exceeding 42% following the implementation. The case study outlines various features of the ERP system, including real-time data access, automated purchasing, and dashboards that facilitate monitoring of production metrics. These improvements have led to enhanced productivity, more accurate quoting, and increased employee morale on the shop floor, ultimately positioning Pressform more competitively in the market.
