ERP Helps Manufacturer Build Business Around High-End Markets

June 1st, 2024 — Tom Rougeux, influenced by his father’s career in manufacturing, pursued a finance and economics degree before entering the engineering sector. His passion for owning a business led him and his wife, Sarah, to buy a South Carolina machine shop in September 2020, amidst the pandemic, establishing RX Industries. Situated in Hilton Head Island, RXI employs 12 people and caters to high-end markets such as aerospace, military, and space sectors, working on contracts for NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, and commercial medical equipment.

To ensure operational efficiency and meet stringent industry standards, Rougeux implemented an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, specifically ProShop ERP, which integrates quality management systems and streamlines processes. This decision was pivotal for RXI, allowing for a paperless workflow, real-time data access, and efficient scheduling. ProShop’s user-friendly interface and comprehensive modules, such as Tooling and Scheduling, facilitate inventory management and quick, consistent quoting processes.

Rougeux’s strategic use of ProShop ERP has been instrumental in RXI’s growth, enabling the company to handle complex projects and prepare for future expansion, including achieving AS9100D certification and doubling its size within 15 months.
