Challenge

Precision Edge faced mounting challenges managing complex custom manufacturing operations, including rigorous lot control and traceability requirements driven by FDA and ISO standards. Their legacy ERP system hindered data access, slowed critical financial processes and lacked the flexibility to adapt to the company's rapid expansion and increasing regulatory demands. As the business grew from 120 to 192 employees and expanded to a 37,000 sq. ft. facility, the need for a comprehensive, integrated solution became clear.

Results

By adopting Global Shop Solutions ERP, Precision Edge reduced month-end closing from 15 days to just 1.5 days, vastly improving financial oversight. The company strengthened lot control and traceability to enhance regulatory compliance, decreased scrap percentages and effectively integrated a second production facility. Customizable features and responsive support empowered the company to scale operations, ensure data integrity and maintain quality as the business expanded.

About Precision Edge

Precision Edge is a world-renowned contract manufacturer of fine surgical components, cutting tools and accessories for major medical device OEMs. Founded in 1989 in Michigan, the company has grown from a small bur manufacturer to a 37,000 sq. ft. facility employing over 180 skilled workers.

The Challenge

Precision Edge encountered increasing operational complexity as it expanded its workforce from 120 to 192 employees and grew into a 37,000 sq. ft. facility. Strict FDA and ISO compliance requirements mandated robust lot control and traceability processes, while their legacy ERP system created bottlenecks in data extraction and financial reporting. Month-end closing was a prolonged, 15-day ordeal and the business lacked the agility to adapt to growing customer demands and regulatory scrutiny. With rapid business growth and evolving manufacturing requirements, Precision Edge required a modern, integrated ERP solution to ensure data integrity, compliance and efficiency.

The Solution

Recognizing the need for a scalable and user-friendly manufacturing ERP, Precision Edge selected Global Shop Solutions ERP software for its comprehensive capabilities, including advanced lot control, quality tracking and real-time data visibility. The solution offered the flexibility and integration needed to support multi-facility operations and adapt to custom manufacturing workflows. According to Kathryn Pepin, Implementation Team Member, "With Global Shop Solutions ERP software, I can now complete the month-end closing of the books in only one and a half days. By comparison, it generally took 15 days at other companies I worked in." The intuitive interface and logical system navigation enabled efficient onboarding and minimized errors: "Global Shop Solutions is so user-friendly. You can easily track your data. The screens are intuitive. Movement throughout the system is logical. And if someone does something wrong, it’s a simple process to go in and make corrections." Precision Edge also valued the responsive support and customizable features: "The folks at Global Shop Solutions take the time to listen to us. And if they think we have a good idea, they get on it right away."

The Results

Following implementation, Precision Edge realized dramatic operational improvements. Month-end closing was reduced from 15 days to just 1.5 days, enabling timely financial oversight. Enhanced lot control and traceability reinforced compliance with FDA and ISO requirements, while scrap percentages decreased. The ERP system supported seamless integration of a second production facility and the workforce scaled efficiently from 120 to 192 employees. Kathryn Pepin highlighted the system’s reliability: "With Global Shop Solutions I can add another company, a consignment or any number of things, knowing I can trust the integrity of the data and keep going." The combination of data visibility, scalable features and personalized support empowered Precision Edge to maintain high standards and drive growth in a demanding manufacturing environment.
