      Challenge

      Stickle Steam’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) tool hadn’t evolved with the business. The manufacturer needed a better system to track and manage parts, cost jobs and measure profitability.

      Solution

      Wipfli Digital implemented a new ERP that would boost the company’s efficiency and give it real-time visibility into operations and profitability. The team replaced manual, outdated practices and helped the company accurately forecast cashflow and measure job-level profitability. Stickle Steam also outsourced accounting to Wipfli to leverage best practices in both accounting and technology.

      “Wipfli helped us scale our business with the team members we need, when we need them.”
