In the Words of Clients
WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
Since implementation of the Guardian System, we have over 4,000 different part numbers on our shelves, and of that, between 20-30% are new parts that we didn’t run the previous year.
We have a complex business model with over 350 people, operating 4 divisions around the clock…with the Guardian System, we were able to find ways of simplifying what we had created and strengthen our ability to manage our lead times.
As managers of Wisconsin Precision Casting Corporation, it is our job to get our employees all the information required to do the job right. Guardian MES has helped us
achieve this goal.
The implementation of Guardian Software at our company has created a foundational platform to support our future business growth and systems integration. The software can be implemented with little to no modifications and users can be quickly brought up to speed on its operation.
The software is fully integrated which drives data integrity, discipline, and proficiency. There are a wealth of reports and queries allowing for an unlimited view to trends, transactions, and base level data files.
The support staff is knowledgeable and accessible with rapid turnaround on any questions after go-live and training resources during implementation.
Overall the software is well thought out, specific to our industry, and has a depth of functionality equal to large scale ERP packages.
Guardian software was the right choice for us.
Guardian’s touch screen system has reduced the paperwork on the floor from 8+ sheets to only a single sheet traveler.
The Guardian Dashboard gives managers an up to the minute snapshot of our KPIs for Orders, Shipments, Scrap, Delivery and more. I can access this in seconds when it used to take an hour plus of digging through reports.
We reduced our time to complete our monthly inventory by 12 man hours by using Guardian to track monthly purchases and usage and report our work in process.
Our plant throughput has been cut by 4 working days by quickly identifying late jobs with our department schedules and live TV monitors.
The use of the Guardian MES has allowed us to eliminate 2 days from each job on the reporting of our scrap percentages.
Guardian’s file storage system has helped us greatly down our path to ISO certification.
Using the Quotation Module I have been able to effectively track our quote turnaround time and organize our list of all open quotes.
We have cut our turnaround time by 10% resulting in more won projects. Having an organized list of quotes enables effective follow up and minimizes the potential for opportunities to slip through the cracks.
We understood that choosing software for our business was more critical than purchasing a piece of equipment. We needed an effective software to communicate with our equipment and employees, provide us with accurate data, and give leadership real-time visibility into employee and equipment performance.
Software for Kovatch Castings needed to support our ISO 9001, AS9100C and NADCAP certifications, along with a quality system to support Certified Suppliers such as GE, Rolls Royce and Honeywell.
Most importantly, we needed a business partner.
After extensive evaluation, we knew that Guardian Software Systems met our criteria, would satisfy our needs for today and tomorrow, and could be a business partner to help solve any challenge we might face.
