This Ohio GLTAAC client knew that their 20+ year-old ERP system was holding them back in today’s market. So, the aluminum foundry decided to use TAAF matching funds to implement a complete ERP upgrade. Working with a consultant who has an understanding of their industry and specific needs, the firm is now in the third and final phase of the upgrade, which includes data conversion, reporting set-up, and staff training. The company is already beginning to benefit from better real-time outputs, increased functionality, and the improved usability of the new system. Total cost for the three-stage effort will be $102K (with TAAF paying 50%).
