ConveyMor ERP Case Study

Industry

Mixed-Mode

Challenge

ConveyMor, a mixed-mode manufacturer, faced complex operational challenges stemming from disconnected legacy systems that hindered visibility, increased manual entry and complicated the management of inventory and workflow across its three affiliated companies. The lack of integration led to redundant data entry, limited real-time insights and made it difficult to support growth and respond quickly to customer needs, especially given the custom and made-to-stock nature of their business.

Results

After adopting Global Shop Solutions ERP, ConveyMor unified its manufacturing, inventory and reporting functions under one system, achieving seamless coordination among its three entities. The ERP’s customizable reporting and robust data import capabilities reduced manual entry by hundreds of hours, enabled custom reports to be generated in minutes and improved inventory management of over 20 product permutations. Integrated workflows allowed the company to respond to customer inquiries rapidly and fulfill orders within one day, supporting scalable growth and delivering measurable improvements in efficiency and customer satisfaction.

About ConveyMor

ConveyMor, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Pelham, Alabama, is a mixed-mode manufacturer specializing in hot lime conveying equipment for the paper bleaching industry. The company is renowned worldwide for its complete conveyor systems and operates alongside two sister companies, Jones Bearing and American Pulley.

The Challenge

As a mixed-mode manufacturer, ConveyMor needed to manage custom, discrete and made-to-stock products. However, their previous manufacturing software created operational bottlenecks due to lack of system integration. Manual data entry was extensive, inventory management was cumbersome and coordinating workflow across three companies was error-prone. These inefficiencies restricted real-time visibility and hampered ConveyMor’s ability to support business growth and deliver prompt, accurate service to customers.

The Solution

Seeking a comprehensive and integrated manufacturing ERP, ConveyMor evaluated available solutions and selected Global Shop Solutions ERP for its ability to support mixed-mode manufacturing, advanced inventory management and robust custom reporting. The decision was driven by the need to unify operations across all three companies and gain real-time control over every aspect of the business. President Andy Adams highlighted, “Global Shop Solutions not only makes it easy to manage the businesses separately, it also has a lot of nifty features that facilitate smooth transactions between the separate entities.” The implementation equipped sales representatives to instantly check inventory and bills of materials, improving responsiveness: “Suppose a customer calls in and wants to order 50 of a particular part...from one screen, the sales rep can quickly drill down to the bill of materials and see whether we have the materials on hand to make that part. This, in turn, allows him to tell the customer how quickly we can make the parts and when we expect to ship.” Custom reporting became accessible and efficient: “When we first started using the software, it often took me a couple of hours to create a custom report. Now, I can usually generate something new in about 10 minutes. With Global Shop Solutions, you get a high level of customizability that doesn’t require the time and expense of an outside programmer.”

The Results

By deploying Global Shop Solutions ERP, ConveyMor achieved significant gains in operational efficiency and scalability. The ERP enabled the company to manage over 20 product permutations with ease, reduce custom report generation time from hours to just 10 minutes and save hundreds of hours previously lost to manual data entry. Integrated workflows now support order fulfillment within one day, improving customer satisfaction and responsiveness. These results underscore the ERP’s value in supporting complex, mixed-mode manufacturing environments, delivering real-time visibility and enabling business growth.
