SYSTEMS INTEGRATION CASE STUDYGOODFABS

BUILT A BUSINESS SYSTEM TO REPLACE EXCEL HANDLING OVER 1,600 JOBS P.A.

Goodfabs fabricate race exhaust systems for top race teams, managing projects from initial design and development through to fully inspected and trackable race systems.

WHO IS GOOD FABS

Production, financial reporting and supply chain

data existed in different systems. The resulting

poor data integrity, time-consuming data

entry and inaccurate information

compromised decision making.

GOODFABS’ CHALLENGE AND OUR SOLUTION

We delivered a web-based system that draws together

accurate, real-time data (sales, product, pricing, production,

customer, and financial) and features a new user experience.

The system is accessible round the clock, securely and remotely.

WHAT WE DELIVERED

A custom .NET solution

First, we set to understand Goodfabs’ business model, processes, people, customers and systems, through a number of internal workshops and interviews. With the database design locked down, we focused on the ‘quick wins’ in terms of functionality and process. Since launch we have delivered several major upgrades to the system.
