About Sharp Tooling Solutions

Sharp Tooling Solutions is a full-service supplier for the aerospace, automotive and defense industries, specializing in the design and construction of fixtures and tooling. Based in Romeo, Michigan, the company is AS9100 and ISO 9001:2008 certified, serving customers worldwide.

The Challenge

Sharp Tooling Solutions faced significant operational hurdles due to reliance on separate software solutions for manufacturing, accounting and payroll. Manual data entry, fragmented information and lack of process continuity limited their ability to forecast effectively and meet stringent AS9100 quality requirements. As the business grew, these inefficiencies became increasingly unsustainable, prompting the search for a more unified and scalable approach.

The Solution

Recognizing the need for an integrated system, Sharp Tooling Solutions evaluated their options and selected Global Shop Solutions ERP for its ability to consolidate all core functions into one platform. According to Brett Cisneros, IT Manager at Sharp Tooling Solutions, "We needed to become more organized and efficient. In particular, we wanted to be able to put our manufacturing processes, accounting and payroll hours tracking all under one integrated software package." The implementation process prioritized training and adoption, leveraging Global Shop Solutions' extensive resources to ensure employees felt confident with the new system. "We found the software to be intuitive and easy to use. Even so, we took full advantage of the many training resources made available by Global Shop Solutions to get people comfortable using the software," Cisneros added.

The Results

With Global Shop Solutions ERP in place, Sharp Tooling Solutions experienced tangible improvements throughout their operations. Paperwork and spreadsheets were minimized and data accuracy improved across quoting, purchasing and shipping processes. The company now ships more than 20 tools each week, maintains a 100% on-time delivery rate and supports 100 employees with integrated, real-time systems. Their AS9100 and ISO 9001:2008 certifications are upheld through enhanced quality management. Reflecting on the transformation, Cisneros noted, "Sharp Tooling Solutions is in a growth trajectory and with Global Shop Solutions we have simplified processes and made improvements in quoting, purchasing and adhering to quality requirements. Across the board, those improvements translate to better customer satisfaction."
