The Copley Consulting Group and Gradient Consulting Announce the Successful Joint Implementation of an ERP Customer Expansion in Europe

Custom Manufacturer G.W. Lisk collaborates with Copley and Gradient to Extend Use of Infor CloudSuite Industrial

The Copley Consulting Group and Gradient Consulting announced the successful implementation of another European customer. The strategic partnership between Copley and Gradient was formalized last year to enhance the service offerings of two leading Infor CloudSuite™ Industrial (CSI) ERP service and solutions providers. G.W. Lisk Company, a New York-based manufacturer of custom engineered solutions and Copley client, worked with Gradient and Copley to implement Infor CSI in their facilities in Galway, Ireland.

LISK IRELAND, which includes a full manufacturing operation, previously had significant manual processes in place for production and planning. Scheduling new orders and determining availability of materials was challenging. It is within this backdrop that the corporate team decided to extend its use of Infor CSI to this European operation. The implementation process spanned seven months from installation to go-live, yielding significant operational improvements. These results included more timely and accurate reporting, improved intercompany reconciliations and scheduling, better inventory management and improved on-time deliveries to customers.

“With our prior manual systems, we devoted a great deal of time to determining the status of and managing the priorities of our production,” said Ger Tarpey, Managing Director of LISK Ireland. “Working with Copley and Gradient to implement Infor CSI, we are now better aligned with our corporate team and have been able to improve scheduling, inventory management and order fulfilment for our customers. The results have been tremendous, with improved financial reporting for our executive team and better decision-making for the company. “

Stephanie Snaith, Joint Managing Director of Gradient stated, “The relationship with Copley has been very positive for the firm and the successful results received by G.W. Lisk is another important proof-point toward the success of that partnership.”

“G.W. Lisk is a great example of an existing Copley client who is growing their business and turned to us and Gradient to assist in expanding their CSI solution overseas,” said Andy Funk, Vice President of Services at The Copley Consulting Group. “We are undertaking several other opportunities in Europe with Gradient that will lead to the continued growth of the relationship and our European market penetration.”

Triangle Manufacturing Company Accelerates Growth with The Copley Consulting Group and Infor ERP

Implementation of the Copley FDA Extended ERP solution has provided higher visibility into demand forecasting and quality control for medical device manufacturer.

Triangle Manufacturing Company, a premier contract manufacturer to OEMs of medical instrumentation and implantable devices, is realizing significant benefits since implementing The Copley Consulting Group’s FDA Extended Solution based on the Infor CloudSuite™ Industrial (CSI) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application. The new ERP solution replaced Triangle’s disparate systems and manual processes, providing the functionality needed for them to improve production cycle times and shop floor efficiency to support their aggressive growth goals.

“With our prior, legacy systems, we lacked a unified platform that melded Quality Control, FDA Regulatory Compliance, and Shop Floor Control,” said Dax Strohmeyer, President at Triangle Manufacturing Company. “With Copley and Infor, we have successfully implemented a solution that provides real-time production feedback, allowing us higher visibility into margin contributions while enhancing our planning and scheduling. We feel the efficiencies we have gained with the Infor and Copley FDA solution will accelerate our growth trajectory, while maintaining our core values of quality and delivery performance.”

Triangle now sees the opportunity to more effectively on-board new customers at a faster rate, fueling their objectives of both top line and bottom line increases in this competitive and highly nuanced medical device sector.

“Triangle is a great example of an FDA regulated client who turned to Copley to track multiple processes across different areas of production in order to meet their growth goals and remain compliant with FDA regulations,” said Robert Lane, CEO at The Copley Consulting Group. “Our FDA Extended Solution is the perfect fit for medical device firms that need to consolidate their various legacy systems and automate their processes, yielding a compliant solution that grows with the company.”
