FT Precision | Manufacturing | 400 | $40M | United States | Plex Systems | Plex ERP | Manufacturing ERP | 2019 |
In 2019, FT Precision implemented Plex ERP, deploying the Plex Manufacturing Cloud as their Manufacturing ERP to replace paper-driven workflows with a single cloud-based operational platform. FT Precision is an Ohio-based automotive components manufacturer that moved from distributed spreadsheets and manual inventory control to software-driven, integrated processes to gain real-time operational visibility across production, quality and finance.
The implementation began with an intended inventory management deployment but broadened into an integrated suite that now includes inventory management, the accounting and finance module, quality and compliance workflows, and mobile P.O. approvals, with planned rollouts for HR, costing and PLC modules. The Plex ERP configuration emphasizes shop floor to finance automation so that transactional events on the production floor automatically update accounting records, and real-time data is surfaced to managers on any device to support faster operational decisions.
The solution was deployed as a cloud SaaS architecture with Plex performing software updates and no on-premises server hardware required. Plante Moran served as the SI/VAR, providing a proven implementation methodology, bilingual personnel and JSOX compliance expertise; phase zero lasted approximately three months to define scope and costs, and phase one completed in seven months, delivered on time and under budget, with day one live validation showing no functional misses. Deployment included classroom training for shop floor staff, parallel process runs to validate data and workflows, and focused communications to secure cross-company buy-in.
Governance shifted from department-owned spreadsheets to a single source of truth under the Plex Manufacturing Cloud, reorganizing data ownership and operational workflows across production, quality and finance teams. Explicit outcomes reported by FT Precision include accurate end-of-day inventory counts enabling lower stock holdings and improved cash flow, automated commercial data flows into the accounting module, faster and better-informed management decisions, increased employee satisfaction through reduced administrative work, and lower IT overhead through a hassle-free cloud delivery model.

Toyotetsu North America | Manufacturing | 3461 | $700M | United States | Plex Systems | Plex ERP | Manufacturing ERP | 2019 |
In 2019, Toyotetsu North America deployed Plex ERP as its Manufacturing ERP platform to establish a single system of record across production and quality. The initial go live covered the Kentucky plant and corporate headquarters, with an additional six facilities scheduled to go live by 2020 in the United States, Canada and Mexico, positioning Plex ERP as the foundational element of Toyotetsu’s North American smart manufacturing strategy.
The implementation instrumented modules for enterprise quality management and shop floor operational efficiency, and leveraged Plex Manufacturing Cloud capabilities such as Kanban, sequencing, just-in-time capabilities and Toyota Shipping Confirmation System support specific to Toyota supply chain requirements. Toyotetsu integrated programmable logic controls into over 250 work centers in the first plant and planned PLC integration across all machines in North America, and signaled future RFID tracking work to extend traceability and automation.
Architecturally the deployment used Plex Systems’ cloud multi-tenant model to connect shop floor production, administrative functions and the supplier base, creating a real-time information flow between systems, materials, equipment, processes, suppliers, products and customers. Plex ERP was configured to support Kanban methodology alongside shop floor data collection and production sequencing, aligning operational workflows with Toyota Production System practices used by Toyotetsu.
Plante Moran served as the global premier implementation partner leading the project and providing program management and consulting services across plant rollouts. Governance emphasis focused on operational integration across plants and supplier touchpoints, and the stated operational intent was to eliminate manual processes and increase reporting efficiency while delivering real-time visibility for manufacturing and quality teams.
