From 50% to 90% inventory accuracy with connected information
Trans-Continental Manufacturing is a contract manufacturing facility headquartered in San Diego, California, founded in 2005, with an additional facility in Tijuana, Mexico. The company specializes in precision CNC machining, plastic injection molding, and complementary manufacturing processes, serving customers across industries from automotive to life sciences.
The catalyst for change
As a contract manufacturer serving customers across industries such as automotive, life sciences, and consumer products, Trans-Continental Manufacturing needed reliable inventory control, fast access to production information for its customers, and the traceability and quality control that regulated, quality-sensitive industries expect. Many of the company's own customers also run SAP Business One, so operating on the same platform gives Trans-Continental Manufacturing a direct, connected way of working with them.
The solution
Trans-Continental Manufacturing implemented SAP Business One with Innormax, an SAP Business One implementation partner, together with the CompuTec Solution Suite, fully integrated into one connected system:
- SAP Business One is the ERP platform behind Trans-Continental Manufacturing's operations, connecting production, purchasing, and sales into one system.
- CompuTec ProcessForce gives the business production information in real time to support faster, better-informed decisions, with Quality Control and Plant Maintenance capabilities built into production.
- CompuTec PDC gives the shop floor a way to capture production data, tracking time and materials that feed into CompuTec ProcessForce.
- CompuTec WMS gives Trans-Continental Manufacturing better inventory control across the business.
- CompuTec Labels produces the labels that travel with production, supporting traceability for TCM's regulated, quality-sensitive customers.
The results
Now we have better inventory accuracy. We went from 50 to 90 percent.
With SAP Business One and the CompuTec Solution Suite connected across the business, Trans-Continental Manufacturing has faster access to production information, tighter inventory control, and a stronger foundation for serving customers across its many industries.
