John Dilling, VP of Finance at ABI Attachments, oversees a growing manufacturing operation at the company’s Mishawaka, Indiana headquarters. Facing volatility and an expanding in-house production footprint, he needed a faster way to align supply and demand.
But with spreadsheets and a new ERP alone, teams were stuck firefighting: they lacked visibility into more than 1,200 component parts, struggled to prevent stockouts, and carried excess inventory. Service levels were pressured, efficiency lagged, and growth ambitions were at risk.
That’s when they turned to Intuiflow. After evaluating the native-to-NetSuite solution, ABI Attachments rolled out Intuiflow modules for materials and production planning. The implementation included a deep process review and custom Intuiflow views. Within months, the company gained clearer visibility and more confident planning decisions.
Results at a Glance
ABI Attachments designs, produces, and distributes more than 5,000 equipment attachments annually. As the company insourced more production, its reliance on spreadsheets left planners blind to critical risks. ERP visibility alone wasn’t enough to prevent near-weekly surprises and recurring stockouts.
