About Super Radiator Coils

Super Radiator Coils, founded in 1928, designs and manufactures heat transfer coils for industries such as food processing, HVAC, transportation, military, commercial refrigeration, power and energy. The company operates from its headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with additional facilities in Richmond, Virginia and Phoenix, Arizona. Their equipment includes a state-of-the-art wind tunnel test lab at the Richmond facility, which is ISO 9001:2008 certified.

The Challenge

Super Radiator Coils encountered critical limitations with their custom-built, in-house software as the business expanded. The system was unable to handle the complexity and volume brought by growth, resulting in fragmented production processes, delayed and inaccurate data and excessive manual paperwork. The lack of real-time scheduling and visibility into inventory and job costs created operational bottlenecks and made it increasingly difficult to maintain high performance across three geographically diverse production facilities.

The Solution

Seeking a scalable, feature-rich solution, Super Radiator Coils evaluated several ERP options before selecting Global Shop Solutions. The decision was driven by the software's comprehensive capabilities, intuitive interface and powerful data accessibility. "Global Shop Solutions had all the features and capabilities we wanted in an ERP system. Plus it was easy to navigate and we really liked the ability to drill down and access vast amounts of data from one screen," shared Marty Kampfer, Design and Engineering Manager. The implementation of Global Shop Solutions enabled the company to connect all production sites, automate scheduling, improve inventory accuracy and eliminate most manual paperwork. The robust customization options and user-friendly design empowered teams to adapt the system to their evolving needs and maximize operational efficiency.

The Results

After deploying Global Shop Solutions ERP, Super Radiator Coils experienced transformative results. The company now operates with over 24 shop floor data stations, enabling real-time tracking and enhanced productivity. Inventory management and scheduling became highly accurate, driving on-time delivery and improved resource allocation. The ERP system's job costing capabilities allowed for precise cost control, directly supporting business growth. Sales doubled while maintaining strict oversight of operations and costs across three production facilities. "Managing our costs, along with our fast lead times, puts us ahead of the pack in our industry. We couldn’t do those things without Global Shop Solutions," noted Marty Kampfer.
