Blue Ribbon Trailers - (March 8, 2008)
The introduction of "Sales Configurator" in SmallMfg convinced Blue Ribbon to buy SmallMfg for their Specialty Trailer manufacturing company.  The "Configurator" is built into the Item and Sales Orders forms.  If an item has been configurated in the Materials tab of the Item form this will prompt the user in Sale order entry to select choices.  Their options include length of the trailer and extras like a water tank or Hay rack.  With the order entry person being prompted for custom choices and those choices are copied to the manufacturing order for the production process.

Schneider Simpson Sheetmetal - (Dec 10, 2008)
Receiving a simple and clean invoice from a supplier never helped so much.  They received that invoice from Machine Repair & Design which prompted the question, "what software do you use?"  MRD passed on the our name and now SS Sheetmetal is on their way to improving their operation with SmallMfg software.

PLC Multipoint - (July 30, 2008)
Facing outdated and unsupported systems, PLC Multipoint buys SmallMfg software to manage their lighting control manufacturing company.  The opportunity to merge their different activities into one software package is an exciting prospect.  They have both "Engineer-to-Order" and "Build-to-Stock" product lines.  One of the biggest selling points was the ability to get the software customize to better fit their business.  An example of this is we are developing the added feature of managing multiple commissions and multiple salespersons per sale.

Pioneer Aerofab - (May 10, 2008)
After exploring creating their own internal manufacturing control software, Pioneer Aerofab turns to SmallMfg.  Pioneer has been using a combination of Quickbooks from Intuit, MS Excel and a MS Access program to run their aircraft interior manufacturing company.  Utilizing SmallMfg is adding functionality while focusing on one program.

Pioneer Aerofab required an Estimating module that tied into the rest of the program.  TechnoResources created a new module with their direction.  New Estimates allow the creation of items, bills of materials, and labor tasks.  The BOM components look up standard costs, vendor quotes or can be manually overwritten.  The calculation can be done on multiple quantities, this changes is price with amortization of cost. The estimates can be emailed directly to your contact at a customer or a prospect.

PBS Order - (November 7, 2007)
They requested Sales Order copy function and the ability to assign action items to other users.  They have a high number of repeat orders from their customers, which forced the need for the "copy" function on sales orders.  If the previous order is highlighted on the Sales Order List screen a right-click or selection will copy that order's information to a new sales order.

Then all the user needs to do is set the due dates for this new order.  One of the main benefits they found in small Mfg software is the ability to track "to-do" lists within the system.  Move sticky notes into the system to allow all users to see these notes will help them organize the project's action items.  The extra ability to assign tasks to other workers will greatly improve this aspect in small Mfg for their use.
