Manufacturing software solutions provider Steelhead Technologies (Calumet, Mich.) has announced the achievement of the first-ever 36-hour ERP deployment at A1 Paint, Powder & Sandblasting LLC (Kansas City, Mo.).
According to Steelhead, the 36-hour deployment sets a new industry standard, highlighting the speed and efficiency of the company’s manufacturing job shop software.
Brent Halonen, Vice President of Engineering, emphasized the significance of this achievement, stating, “According to McKinsey, 17% of all large IT projects fail in a way that threatens the very health of the company. An ERP deployment is a huge decision and undertaking, but with our state-of-the-art technology, it doesn’t have to be the slow and painful process that traditional ERPs have painted it to be.”
As part of the deployment, A1 Paint, Powder & Sandblasting LLC was armed with a comprehensive inventory audit to capture real data and enhance traceability, setting a new standard for precision in their operations.
Jeff Halonen, CEO and onsite product engineer during the deployment, expressed his satisfaction with the project’s progress, stating, “Deploying Steelhead in 36 hours is a demonstration not only of the power of Steelhead but its ease of use, especially when deployed by a team of dedicated engineers. The team works through problem after problem, quickly iterating to an optimal system that matches the customer to fit like a glove. Also, by deploying in just two days, the customer avoids opportunity cost and distraction.”
Frank Laster, President at A1 Paint, Powder & Sandblasting LLC, stated, “The opportunity to work through specific processes has been very enriching. The fact that we get to collaborate with the developers and build something tailored to help us improve our company far outweighs any blueprint solution.”
