BONUS: From Spreadsheets to MRP: How SMB Manufacturers Are Improving Visibility to Inventory and Costs with MRPeasy

Manufacturing Happy Hour · 24 Apr 2026 · 33m

What this episode covers

Shane Dubbelman of MRPeasy and Sara Duff of Smart Manufacture discuss the transition from spreadsheets to MRP for small to midsize manufacturers. They explain why MRP is often a better fit than ERP for companies with 10-200 employees, focusing on manufacturing-specific needs like inventory and cost visibility. The episode highlights case studies, including a CNC machining shop that avoided burnout and an intumescent fire door seal manufacturer that achieved 25% growth without significant headcount increases after implementation.

    Why Sticky Notes and Spreadsheets are not a CRM

    Ron Pretzie and Andy Keehn from Prolifiq, along with retired CEO Dave Sheer of The Steel Supply Company, discuss why mid-sized manufacturers struggle to adopt CRM systems, often relying on spreadsheets and sticky notes. They argue that successful implementation requires top-down leadership buy-in, tying CRM usage to compensation, and assigning a dedicated owner to drive adoption rather than treating it as an IT afterthought. The guests emphasize that CRMs like Salesforce are essential for preserving tribal knowledge when salespeople leave, mapping complex buying committees, and enabling strategic account planning to drive revenue growth.

    You Don't Have a Capacity Problem — You Have a Visibility Problem, Ep #44

    Brian Anderson, Solutions Architect at ProShop ERP, explains that machine shops often mistake visibility problems for capacity issues, leading to misguided investments in staff or equipment. He details how ProShop ERP provides end-to-end visibility through features like contract review and digital work instructions, allowing shops to identify root causes like shipping errors or poor tool life management. Anderson advocates for using data to optimize utilization—such as splitting jobs for unattended roughing—rather than simply adding headcount, emphasizing that small, continuous improvements compound to solve systemic bottlenecks.
