Rossmonster's unique, multi-tiered pop-up trucks fueled rapid business growth, but getting buy-in from the shop floor to systemize proved tricky, leaving Rossmonster with spreadsheets, whiteboards, and chaos.

"Before Arda, we held inventory levels at 25+ for most of our critical components. Now, we hold inventory levels at 5 and make 6x as many vehicles. We doubled revenue last year and will double again this year."

Luke Farny, Owner of Rossmonster

Software Wasn't Made For The Shop Floor

Managing supplies using various competing, manual systems was crippling Rossmonster's ability to deliver value to customers and creating an unmanageable amount of work for the business's owners.

• ERPs — hard to use, expensive, and often fail to deliver the promised value.
• Point solutions — not sophisticated enough to manage high-mix manufacturing.
• Excel & whiteboards — error-prone, ineffective, frustrating, and not scalable.

Without Process, Scaling Was Grind Not Growth

• Process inefficiency. Stockouts caused setups to be torn down, resupplied, and re-set-up only to identify a new, different stockout.
• Talent misallocation. The owners and best workers spent most of their time ordering and resolving stockouts.
• Volatility & waste. Looking for parts, constant interruptions, and "stealing" parts from future builds in a pinch was business-as-usual.
• Expensive idling. High-value machines, vehicles, and staff sat idle waiting for low-cost items to be delivered.

From Panic To Profit With Arda

Within days, Arda alleviated critical bottlenecks and allowed the business to focus on growth. One year into deployment, Rossmonster has doubled revenue and 100% of their supplies are on Arda.

• 95% of stockouts eliminated.
• 50% less time spent ordering.
• 20% reduction in labor costs.

Seeing this success created buy-in from shop-floor employees. Everyone made Arda Cards to ensure supplies are always in stock — and Rossmonster now manages everything through Arda and has doubled revenue.

New Products, Markets, Hires: No Problem.

Arda allowed Rossmonster to refocus their team on growth. They launched new products, overhauled their go-to-market, expanded into dealership and rental markets, and made key hires.

• 3 new product lines, with fewer custom components.
• 2 new sales channels, enabled by a go-to-market approach through dealerships.
• 3 critical hires, including a CRO and Head of Production.
