The DECC Company implemented Plex Manufacturing Cloud ERP to consolidate fragmented maintenance, gage, and production systems. Barcode-driven lot traceability now tracks parts, coatings, solvents, and blends through every process step. Real-time costing, inventory accuracy, and supplier visibility replaced manual data collection and reactive problem solving.

Key takeaways

Barcode lot traceability created a graphical family tree linking every container, part, and blend

Accurate, real-time inventory reduced required storage space by 30 percent

Costing moved from periodic manual reports to continuous, employee-linked tracking

Paperless operations and wireless scanning eliminated duplicate data entry and improved data integrity

Cloud delivery removed on-premise servers, backups, and per-seat licensing costs
