Metalcaster Thrives by maximizing Administrative and Shop Floor efficiencies.

1 1 Guardian Software Systems

A foundry is a multi-department operation that relies on synergy from sales to shipping to invoicing. Many foundries have become relaxed with a legacy software system that allows money to slip through the cracks of both the shop floor and the front office. A common misstep from foundries is neglecting the shop floor, while misallocating resources in administrative departments. Foundries around the world are performing manual entries of labor tickets, struggling to compile required certificates, and executing manual AR & AP tasks with a spreadsheet that lacks security and precision.  Torrance Casting is a family-owned sand foundry, based in La…

A Foundry Specific ERP & MES Solution is Key for Metal Casting Success

1024 576 Guardian Software Systems
