GURUS Solutions worked with Kentucky-based manufacturing company, Atlas Machine & Supply, to successfully implement a NetSuite for manufacturing solution tailored to their needs. While Atlas' implementation didn't start out smoothly with a previous partner, GURUS Solutions was able to get their project back on track and deliver a NetSuite experience that exceeded their expectations.
Why Atlas Machine & Supply Chose NetSuite ERP for Manufacturing
Transitioning from one enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to another can be a daunting task, but when Atlas Machine & Supply decided to move away from their previous ERP system, JobBOSS ERP, and implemented NetSuite ERP for manufacturing, they experienced a significant transformation in their operations.
Atlas needed a cloud-based ERP platform that could handle the complexity of their business, from supply chain management and financial control to inventory management and production planning. JobBOSS, while functional, had limitations in providing the comprehensive manufacturing capabilities that Atlas needed to scale. NetSuite offered a unified platform that covered every facet of their manufacturing processes in a single system.
