Lori Holjevac“We were using spreadsheets, creating BOMs in our accounting software, and using JobBoss for some of our manufacturing processes. It was highly inefficient.”
BMP Metals, Inc. is a custom precision sheet metal fabricator with deep roots in the Brampton community of Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1984, the family-owned and operated business has been ISO9001-certified for nearly 25 years. They take pride in the skills used to complete each complex job in their shop.
BMP‘s focus has shifted from high-volume, repetitive jobs to small-volume, high-complexity projects. They offer custom design, CNC machining, milling and turning, welding, punching, painting, and more. With so many options, it takes a lot of work and focus to manage these processes.
The management team at BMP Metals dedicates much of their time and energy to helping employees appreciate the value of MIE Trak Pro tools. By listening to the Shop Floor employees during implementation, they learned which processes were most useful and tailored training to their staff’s needs.
VP Lori Holjevac suggests that anyone considering ERP software for their team focus on their employees’ needs. The BMP team makes sure that every employee receives one-to-one training so they may be able to use the software easily and effectively.
“A winning implementation is one where you listen to your employees’ complaints and frustrations and you help them through it all. Do what you can to turn opposition into advocacy and you will have a much smoother ERP implementation.”
