How a custom vehicle manufacturer transformed their business in 6 months

Luke Farny


Owner of Rossmonster

"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."

Throughput

Software wasn't made for the shop floor

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.

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

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.

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.
