About Customer	Unique Manufacturing is a company based in New Iberia, Louisiana, specializing in producing parts for the oil industry that are considered impossible to make by others. Founded eight years ago by four industry veterans with no initial capital, the company has grown to produce one-of-a-kind parts for deep-sea oil production, some costing over a million dollars. The parts they manufacture are mission-critical elements for large drilling and pipeline operations, requiring absolute precision and timely delivery. Unique Manufacturing prides itself on its ability to deliver perfect parts on time, every time, making them a trusted partner in the oil industry. Read More
Solution	To address their quality and delivery demands, Unique Manufacturing implemented REALTRAC Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. This software helps them manage every detail of their operations, from job scheduling to tracking projects from raw materials to finished parts. The ERP system provides complete visibility on projects, allowing the management team to access all necessary information at any time. This has enabled Unique Manufacturing to pass quality audits like API Q1, ISO9001, and IS0/TS 29001 on their first attempt, thanks to the comprehensive documentation available in the ERP software. The software also helped solve productivity issues by eliminating time clocks and relying on employee log-in features to track time, thereby reducing unproductive hours.
