Parallel Solutions Expands Acumatica ERP Practice to Help Plastics Manufacturers Protect Margins
Ohio Pen/10340293

CLEVELAND - OhioPen -- Parallel Solutions, an Acumatica Cloud ERP implementation partner serving manufacturers and distributors, announced the expansion of its plastics manufacturing expertise, with a particular focus on injection molding and rotational molding operations.

The practice addresses a problem plastics manufacturers know well: many ERP systems don't address the specific operational requirements of plastics manufacturing. Volatile resin pricing, mold performance tracking, scrap and waste measurement, and material-specific costing all demand a level of operational detail that off-the-shelf manufacturing software often can't provide. Parallel Solutions has built up its plastics practice to close that gap, pairing Acumatica's cloud ERP platform with process knowledge drawn from real plastics manufacturing floors.

This expertise allows Parallel to address the gap by combining Acumatica's cloud ERP platform with practical knowledge of plastics manufacturing operations. Its team configures the system around the way molders buy materials, manage tooling, schedule production, trace lots, calculate costs, and measure performance on the shop floor.

"What sets us apart isn't the software; it's that our team has spent time on plastics manufacturing floors and understands how molding operations actually run. That's the difference between an ERP rollout that gets used and one that gets worked around," said Mary Jo O`Neill, Partner, Parallel Solutions

Parallel Solutions already supports plastics manufacturers including Hedstrom Fitness, Hedstrom Plastics, Ball, Bounce & Sport, and Ohio Tool Works, helping them move off disconnected spreadsheets and legacy systems onto a single cloud platform built for the realities of injection and rotational molding — from resin and material cost visibility.

The plastics manufacturing practice includes:

• Material and resin cost tracking that reflects real-time market volatility
• Mold performance and maintenance visibility tied directly to production data
• Batch and lot traceability for quality and regulatory requirements
• Scrap, waste, and yield reporting to support continuous improvement
• Multi-site and multi-entity support for manufacturers running more than one plant

By bringing these functions into one system, Parallel Solutions helps plastics manufacturers identify production issues sooner, understand costs more accurately, and make better-informed decisions about pricing, scheduling, purchasing, and capacity.
