Conceptual Systems has confirmed that Milwaukee Steel Rule Dies (MSRD), a precision manufacturer of steel rule dies and advanced tooling solutions based in Milwaukee, WI, recently completed its go-live of Paladin™, replacing MSRD’s previous business application. The implementation also includes integration with QuickBooks® Online.
Paladin™ is built to adapt to the way a die making business already operates, rather than forcing customers to rework their processes around rigid, off-the-shelf software. For MSRD, the system now spans order intake, estimating, production scheduling, shop-floor tracking, and documentation in a single, integrated platform. The system is also integrated with QuickBooks® Online, giving the business real-time visibility into every job from initial quote through final shipment. Key benefits of the Paladin™ go-live for MSRD include:
- Real-time order and production tracking across the shop floor, giving MSRD more accurate, up-to-date status on every job;
- Streamlined quoting and estimating, shortening the time between a customer’s request and a firm quote;
- Tighter production scheduling and planning, supporting more reliable delivery dates;
- Enhanced documentation and traceability, reinforcing MSRD’s stringent quality control processes;
- Seamless integration with QuickBooks® Online.
“Our investment in Paladin™ is an important part of modernizing Milwaukee Steel Rule Dies and positioning the company for continued growth. By simplifying our internal processes and providing better visibility across the business, Paladin helps our team operate more efficiently and strengthens our ability to deliver the speed, accuracy, and dependable service our customers expect,” says John Fischer, CEO, Milwaukee Steel Rule Dies.
“MSRD is exactly the kind of precision diemaker Paladin™ is built for. Their team needed a system that could match the way they already run a demanding shop floor, not the other way around. Seeing them go live with real-time visibility from quote to shipment, with QuickBooks® Online now tied directly into that process, is exactly the outcome we set out to deliver,” adds Chris Watson, Managing Director, Conceptual Systems.
