Challenge

Becker Electronics managed nearly 300 workcenters and hundreds of jobs with an outdated ERP system, resulting in fragmented data, inefficient production scheduling and limited real-time operational visibility. As a contract manufacturer serving industries with strict quality and delivery requirements, Becker Electronics faced growing pressure to improve on-time delivery, reduce manual processes and gain actionable insights across its complex manufacturing environment.

Results

After implementing Global Shop Solutions ERP, Becker Electronics realized a 99% on-time delivery rate, increased their delivery rate by 50% and gained control over more than 300 workcenters and 28 shop floor data stations. The unified ERP platform enabled real-time production monitoring, automated workflow management and accurate scheduling, driving sustained improvements in efficiency, labor costs and customer satisfaction.

About Becker Electronics

Becker Electronics is an electronics contract manufacturer based in Ronkonkoma, New York, specializing in custom cable assemblies, harnesses and mechanical assembly services for industries including aerospace, audio, computer equipment, machine tooling, medical equipment and military applications.

The Challenge

Becker Electronics operates in a demanding environment, producing custom cable assemblies, harnesses and mechanical assemblies for aerospace, medica, and military sectors. With nearly 300 workcenters and a high volume of concurrent jobs, their legacy ERP system struggled to support efficient production scheduling and coherent workflow management. Fragmented data, manual workarounds and limited shop floor visibility made it difficult to consistently meet customer deadlines and regulatory requirements, threatening both operational efficiency and growth potential.

The Solution

Recognizing the need for a comprehensive manufacturing ERP, Becker Electronics evaluated several solutions. They ultimately selected Global Shop Solutions ERP for its all-in-one platform, robust production scheduling and deep manufacturing expertise. As President David Sosnow explains, "We selected Global Shop Solutions for several reasons. The price fit our budget, and we liked the fact that we got a complete system rather than having to buy different modules and cobble them together. Equally important, the folks at Global Shop Solutions took the time to learn about and understand our company." With full deployment across more than 300 workcenters and 28 shop floor data stations, Becker Electronics centralized operations, automated data collection and gained real-time insight into both production and financials.

The Results

With Global Shop Solutions ERP, Becker Electronics achieved a 99% on-time delivery rate and increased their delivery rate by 50%. The advanced production scheduling and shop floor automation modules provided the visibility and control needed to manage complex workflows and proactively address scheduling conflicts. As noted by President David Sosnow, "Prior to implementing Global Shop Solutions, we used to run behind schedule on almost every job. Now we almost never fall behind. And if we do, we can look in APS and it will tell us why." These improvements led to reduced labor costs, greater customer satisfaction and a strong foundation for continued growth. Sosnow adds, "The software has turned out to be everything we hoped it would be and more, but we've only scratched the surface of all it can do. We know we can gain a lot more efficiencies by using more of the system. And we know the product and the company is large enough to grow with us."
