Challenge
In the relentless tide of the digital era, businesses are feeling the urgency to adapt and modernize. Toolrite Manufacturing, an ambitious manufacturing company, found themselves hindered by the archaic constraints of their PICK/MultiValue system:
- The disorganized data storage of the legacy system made data extraction a daunting chore.
- Concerns over potential data loss loomed, with up to 40% of the data at risk during transition.
- Existing documentation, while comprehensive, lacked the precise details needed for daily operations, extending training durations.
- A heavy dependency on the knowledge of seasoned employees threatened operational continuity, complicating the onboarding process for newcomers.

Embracing the future, Toolrite Manufacturing underwent a transformation, transitioning to Rover ERP. This shift brought:
- EDI Integration: A significant value-add was the incorporation of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), which drastically reduced manual data entry times, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
- Advanced reporting tools enabling real-time data visualization and decision-making.
- Time-saving measures such as direct clock-in systems and integrated barcodes for precise time logging.
- Systematic documentation that not only preserved the knowledge of industry veterans but also reduced the learning curve for newcomers.
- Intuitive user interface designed with the modern user in mind.
- Tailored and scalable solutions to address Toolrite Manufacturing’s specific operational needs.

The switch to Rover ERP catalyzed numerous operational improvements:
