Multi-Plant Utility Producer Consolidates 5 Systems into One
$28M annual revenue | 120 employees | 3 plant locations
The Challenge
This utility precast manufacturer faced growing pains with:
- ✗ Separate software at each plant with no unified view
- ✗ Manual coordination of production between facilities
- ✗ Using external CAD for manhole designs with re-entry into ERP

The Results
After implementing CastLogic across all plants:
- ✓ Single unified platform across all 3 locations
- ✓ Built-in design tool eliminated need for separate CAD licenses
- ✓ Automated certified payroll generation for all projects
- ✓ $45,000/year saved in software licensing costs

$42M annual revenue | 180 employees | 2 plant locations
The Challenge

- ✓ Automated WIP accounting updates with every production transaction
- ✓ Progress billing triggers based on actual production milestones
- ✓ Controller now focused on analysis instead of data entry
