Kevin Sharp“We had no real-time tracking of performance, no ability to switch priorities within the shop without going to the Shop, searching for the work order, scribbling out a date and then telling the folks on the shop floor to work on something different.”
Upside Innovations got their start in 2009 when Founder and President Kevin Sharp envisioned creating better aluminum ramp systems than those currently available. He and his team initially focused on manufacturing and installing ADA-accessible aluminum ramps for modular buildings, but have since expanded their manufacturing talents to steps, canopies, and ramps for multi-level structures.
Today, they have five thriving facilities thanks to the hard work and dedication to the efficiency of their team. They all want to provide the best for their customers, so they chose MIE Solutions for their ERP software. Before MIE Trak Pro, they used a combination of Excel Spreadsheets and accounting software, but their business became too complicated to manage with these two systems.
Kevin Sharp“The overall visibility that we have of our business has improved a ton. Whether it is our operations team being able to quickly tell us when products will be available to ship or supervisors knowing exactly how efficient individual employees are performing or our sales folks knowing exactly how many new orders have been taken from companies in a specific industry, we have that information at our fingertips now.”
