Reelex needed an ERP for high-volume production runs, and a system that could handle the company’s custom packaging machine manufacturing, as well as their services.
Located in Patterson, NY, REELEX Packaging Solutions are the creators of the REELEX system, which is the industry standard for packaging most types of telecommunications cable.
REELEX is in the general manufacturing industry. The company develops and supports every aspect of REELEX, from packaging supplies to machine manufacturing, global service, and support.
"Any employee in the plant can step in on a job and figure out what they have and what they need."
REELEX president Thomas Copp and his son Vice President of Business Development Tim Copp, realized that they needed an ERP system if they were to continue growing.
“When we started getting busier, we ran into issues where we forgot to place an order, and we didn’t have a good feel for lead times,” explained Tim. “We realized we had to get a handle on all of the structure around production.
”The management team went on the hunt for a quality ERP solution that would fit their company’s custom needs at a fair price. REELEX also required a system that would integrate well with their existing Sage 300 accounting software and could handle multi-level BOMs. One of their sales representatives suggested Genius ERP, as it is specialized in SME manufacturers.
After carefully vetting various ERPs, REELEX selected Genius. “When Genius first came on board, it was a fantastic learning experience,” said Tim Copp. “We were able to dive deep into how we do things and identify the issues where we were lacking and address them.”
Once up and running, REELEX and its team — which includes electrical and mechanical engineers, designers, CAD and electronics technicians, welders, painters, and field technicians — were able to improve production planning by tracking projects and identifying products that weren’t being completed on time. Genius ERP also gave them the ability to easily share all information related to each job project throughout the entire company — something they had never been able to do before.
With Genius ERP, REELEX can receive work orders and immediately account for how long it will take to complete that specific order, the cost associated with it, and — as a result — how much to charge based on these factors.
REELEX can now determine prices based on the true costs of material and labor, allowing them to start with accurate quotes and end projects with profitability

Whether you’re looking for your first ERP, or you need a replacement solution, manufacturers just like you have realized the benefits of implementing Genius ERP.
Industrial machinery and equipment manufacturers build a wide range of machinery, from large-scale equipment for heavy industries to specialized tools for precision manufacturing. This type of complex, multi-stage manufacturing demands high levels of precision and technical expertise. Industrial machinery and equipment manufacturers often work on custom orders, requiring specialized designs and materials, and need to manage shifting demand, supply chain disruptions, and frequent changes to meet customer needs. Consistently delivering high-quality products while controlling costs, managing long production cycles, and coordinating large teams are all ongoing challenges.
ERPs help industrial machinery and equipment manufacturers by streamlining business operations and improving efficiency. By integrating various business processes, such as engineering, production, inventory management, and analytics, into a single platform, ERPs allow high-variable manufacturers to optimize workflows and reduce errors.
Real-time insights into business operations — including accurate job costing — let industrial machinery and equipment manufacturers make better business decisions and respond quickly to market changes. With an ERP, industrial machinery and equipment manufacturers can better manage their supply chain, enhance production planning, and ensure timely delivery of their products, all while controlling costs.
