Manufacturing operations need IT that keeps up with production demands. When technology slows you down, it costs you time, margin, and customer relationships. Here's what we hear from manufacturers before they partner with GXA.
Network Infrastructure Slowing Production
Your CNC machines, laser cutters, and production equipment need reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity. Network bottlenecks create production bottlenecks.
- ▸ Aging network equipment can't handle modern production demands
- ▸ Wireless coverage gaps on the shop floor
- ▸ File transfers between CAD and production taking too long
- ▸ No network redundancy—single point of failure
- ▸ Equipment connectivity issues during critical runs
ERP and Production Systems Not Talking
Your ERP should connect to production, inventory, and accounting—but data silos mean manual data entry, errors, and delays in decision-making.
- ▸ Manual data entry between shop floor and ERP
- ▸ Inventory counts don't match reality
- ▸ Production schedules disconnected from materials
- ▸ Accounting reconciliation takes days instead of hours
- ▸ No real-time visibility into production status
IT Vendor Chaos Slowing You Down
You coordinate between your ERP vendor, network provider, equipment integrators, and a dozen other IT vendors. Every issue becomes a finger-pointing exercise.
- ▸ No single point of contact for IT issues
- ▸ Finger-pointing between vendors when problems arise
- ▸ Contract renewals and license management falling through cracks
- ▸ Vendor updates breaking integrations with other systems
- ▸ Hours lost coordinating between support teams
Multi-Site Operations Creating Inconsistency
Each plant has different equipment, different setups, different problems. Staff can't move between facilities without relearning systems.
- ▸ No standard workstation or device configuration
- ▸ Different network setups at each facility
- ▸ Inconsistent IT support quality across locations
- ▸ New facility setup takes weeks instead of days
- ▸ Data not flowing between sites in real time
