MISys Reduces Data Entry Redundancy, Evolves with Client

MISys keeps pace with sales and inventory of flourishing cycling technology

Woodstock, VT (6/26/2014) - In 2011, Stages Cycling of Boulder, CO, chose MISys Manufacturing software to simplify inventory management as they launched the Stages Power meter, a crank-based device that directly measures a cyclist's effort for training purposes. A burgeoning company, Stages Cycling found MISys easy to use during startup and nimble enough to keep up with their expanding manufacturing processes. According to operations manager, Barb Skinner, "The software is very user friendly….and there are a number of shortcuts that make our work easier and simpler."

Skinner cites inventory management, cost tracking, and production history tracking as the greatest benefits Stages Cycling has realized since using MISys. Skinner also notes that MISys has reduced the amount of redundancy in the company's data entry. "Now, we can easily create work orders and there are many useful stock reports that are helpful for planning," says Skinner. "This saves time on the administrative side."

As the Stages Power meter has gained exposure, production capacity and purchasing have increased and grown in complexity. According to Skinner, "MISys has been able to scale up with us." As a result, Skinner believes that MISys will be able to keep pace with the Stages Power meter and continue to meet the needs of Stages Cycling as the company grows and evolves in the future.
