Universal Motion Components streamlines processes and Inventory Control with INDUSTRIOS ERP Manufacturing Suite

Universal Motion Components (UMC), headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, is a privately owned company with offices in North America and Asia and noted for supplying the original equipment manufacturers with high quality parts for the past 35 years. UMC takes pride in serving the agriculture and construction industries, and excels in drive line components for irrigation systems.

Well-deserving of its position as a leader in this field, Universal Motion Components and INDUSTRIOS share a long and valued history, so when improvements in shipping became a requirement as a result of continuous growth, they again turned to INDUSTRIOS to help achieve these enhancements in their operations. This decision was based upon their long and trusted history, the INDUSTRIOS team’s commitment to service, training, customized features and efficient technical support. Two of goals expressed by Universal Motion Components were increased shipping efficiency, gaining easier access to information, as well as other benefits around operations and superior customer service. This was all achieved with the dynamic power and strength of the INDUSTRIOS ERP Manufacturing Suite.

A key area of improvement was found in UMC’s shipping department. With high product demand, Universal Motion Components processes and ships many orders daily. As a result of their new INDUSTRIOS implementation, the entire shipment process is now streamlined and efficient. Features and functions including query and tabulation, as well as “shipping by weight” keep contributing to their success, and are now considered a mainstay in day-to-day business. Shipments are created according to product availability, which provides necessary fast and efficient deliveries. Heightened data access and visibility were also gained, which provides Universal Motion Components with time and cost savings, optimized productivity, improved efficiency and excellent customer service. All from one system…and one implementation.

Unlike some other programs on the market INDUSTRIOS provides a lot of flexibility without requiring us to dedicate an IT person to maintaining the program. Charlie Stockwell, IT Director.

UMC’s shipping process is now completely renovated to ensure superior customer service from quick and efficient shipments, maximized productivity, overall efficiency, time and cost savings.
