The Electric Materials Company, a 110-year-old copper mill, implemented Plex cloud ERP to replace a 1995 system that lacked visibility and forced paper processes. The 15-month rollout eliminated manual reporting, enabled weekly cycle counts, and gave real-time KPI access to shop floor and office teams. Post go-live, month-end inventory counts dropped from days to hours and on-time delivery rose to 60-70%.

Paper-based shop floor processes eliminated within six weeks of go-live
