WHAT OUR
Customers
SAY:

When searching for a way to expand our prefabrication business while increasing our efficiency, we found MANUFACTON. We use it on most of our projects, and it has allowed us to better coordinate between our departments and deliver just in time. Collaboration with MANUFACTON has given our prefabrication department a competitive advantage, helping us expand our business and retain the #1 spot as industry leaders in our province.

Matthew Whitehouse, Director: Britton Électrique

This Single-Source-of-Truth solution enables visibility into complex operations, allowing us to optimize and keep costs low so that we can deliver quality products, increasing affordable housing options throughout California. Manufacton data feeds AnalyticsDashboards at Factory_OS, which are used to track critical production metrics.

Nate Kaylor, Associate Director: Factory_OS

We had a board with papers for all of the tasks. MANUFACTON has completely removed that paperwork, so now we are seeing it live on the screen. The Manufacton integration with Power BI has made our work in the prefab shop extremely visible to everybody.

Jay Nieman, Pre-construction Director: Collins Electrical Company, Inc.

Our fabrication business has grown over the past five years, and I can’t imagine trying to manage this process without MANUFACTON. We see prefabrication and technology as a way to smooth out our manpower curves and even out the ups and downs of project schedules, and we can do more work with the same amount of people.

Shawn Guertin, COO: TG Gallagher

Having used MANUFACTON in my previous role at Skender, I knew the offsite production platform was just what we needed at DOMO to optimize our factory’s production processes and increase its output as we develop modular mid-rise multi-family housing to meet the increasing need.

Pete Murray, COO: DOMO Modular

We leverage MANUFACTON to manage our prefabricated wall panel production facility’s schedule, production processes, quality control, and shipment tracking. Manufacton’s app gives real time production information to the shop, which quickly access work orders and production information. MANUFACTON has streamlined our process, eliminating hours of traditional paperwork everyday.

Jake Wolfer, VP of Prefab: Valley Interior Systems

As we've expanded our prefabrication operations, keeping track of all the moving pieces has become increasingly vital. MANUFACTON helps tie our process together from inception to completion, streamlining projects and aiding us in creating effective and consistent lines of communication.

Brian Lewis, Regional Vice President: Interstate Electrical

We use MANUFACTON in our main electrical prefabrication facility to track production schedule, standardize our prefab processes, and implement a robust QA/QC program. After that, we connected Manufacton to the Evolve spooling tool in Revit to drive bills of material and shop drawings directly to prefab work orders for Manufacton. Now that our prefab teams can scan QR codes with iPads to easily track production in the shop, we're now rolling MANUFACTON out to all of our other prefab facilities

John Phillips, Corporate Prefabrication Manager: Hatzel & Buehler
