Trusted by Leading Clients Nationwide
Tech innovation has disrupted the manufacturing game – has your business kept pace with the changes?
Delivering on quality, competitive pricing, and excellent client management are still important, however, these tried-and-true principles are only part of the equation. On-time delivery of strategic vision is important to propel an organization forward.
If you are a manufacturing organization:
- With stagnant or derailed business or digital transformation projects
- Transitioning through growth, restructuring, or realignment
- Upgrading or looking to implement or optimize new ERP systems
- Without a strategic continuous improvement plan
- Lagging behind on profitability compared to industry or internal benchmarks
- Navigating through complex and companywide change management
To successfully take on complex companywide projects in the 2020s, such as the implementation of ERP systems, creating a culture of analytics, adopting new technology, or executing change management requires deep cross-functional expertise and process-driven methodology.
Unfortunately, strategic projects and digital transformation can get complicated. Changing how you run your business without disrupting your service delivery is a delicate balancing act. At Mantrax, our consultants specialize in simplifying and streamlining the process – discover what we can do for your team today.

$200k+ annual savings by leveraging
standard ERP functionality
Working with a manufacturing client in Canada and the USA, we oversaw the successful re-implementation of a formerly ineffective ERP system.
Prior to our involvement, the client was only utilizing 50% of the purchased IFS functionality and ~50% of the implemented customizations. This led to significant downtime and resistance to taking on new initiatives. We were hired to reverse these trends.
Our Results:
- Eliminated All ERP Vendor Controlled Core Code Customizations
- Updated IFS APPS 8 to IFS APPS 10
- Streamlined Process to Standard ERP Functionality and Best Practices
- Avoided Disrupting Client’s Day-to-Day Operations
- Saved Client Over $200k in Annual Operating Expenses
