Labor Tracking and Streamlined Reporting Improve Accuracy and Efficiency of Slip-ring Manufacturer Schleifring North America

Improved data integration and seamless system compatibility decrease the costs of human error

Woodstock, VT (2/6/2014) - Schleifring North America, a subsidiary of Schleifring und Apparatebau GmbH in Germany, develops and produces slip ring systems and contactless rotary joints. Initially, Schleifring relied on Sage accounting software and Excel spreadsheets to track manufacturing data but the two systems did not offer adequate reporting and data consolidation. In 2011, Schleifring purchased MISys Manufacturing software, which simplifies data entry and intuitively organizes information for better reporting.

“I use MISys a lot for reporting and reconciling,” says Schleifring accounting manager Sally Brown. “Information was difficult to consolidate because some information was stored in Excel spreadsheets while other information existed only in the Sage system. I’m more comfortable with one system that controls the data flow to all of the other applications. MISys interfaces well with Sage and Excel, making this possible.”

After nearly three years of experience with MISys software, Schleifring cites automatic costing as well as greater efficiency and accuracy as the top benefits they have realized as a MISys customer. These benefits result in fewer hours entering data and correcting inaccuracies.
