After private equity acquisition, Fluid Routing Solutions needed to exit a Transition Service Agreement and implement its own ERP within six months. The company selected Plex cloud ERP, which combines ERP, MES, quality, and supply chain functions. Implementation by Plante Moran delivered real-time visibility from shop floor to top floor, automated supplier quality management, and eliminated manual reconciliations. Results included 30 percent lower ERP operating costs, faster problem resolution, and disciplined processes across five sites.
