When co-owner of The Pillow Collection, Kyle Tager, was faced with rapid growth, he and his team turned to Unleashed manufacturing software for support.
The investment paid off big time for the Massachusetts-based luxury pillow brand, as Kyle tells us in a recent chat:
“Over the years we’ve been using Unleashed, it’s probably saved us thousands of dollars on a daily basis.”
Simplified manufacturing with end-to-end product visibility
“Before we used Unleashed software we tracked our sales, manufacturing, and inventory processes through a variety of disparate software systems,” Kyle reveals. “Not one thing spoke to the other.”
Smooth integration is crucial for manufacturers carrying a lot of stock. Kyle and the team needed a solution that would connect seamlessly with their accounting software.
“The Pillow Collection has a catalogue of almost 25,000 pillows. It was critical to bring in a system that was robust enough to manage all these items. Unleashed software was the right system for us.”
Since becoming Unleashed users, The Pillow Collection has enjoyed a smarter, centralized inventory system.
“It is designed in such a way that it’s very intuitive,” Kyle says. “It takes us from sales order to purchasing materials, from manufacturing to shipping and invoicing.”
Kyle has been able to optimize manufacturing processes at The Pillow Collection and reduce the need for manual intervention thanks to Unleashed.
“It’s a complete system that beautifully speaks to our backend accounting system.”
Optimized productivity with faster, more accurate processes
The Pillow Collection receives about 1000 orders each week through multiple sales channels. Kyle says that Unleashed gives them the efficiency needed to handle a high volume of sales.
“A lot of double entry and a lot of the ongoing monotony has been reduced. We can search through hundreds of thousands of records and quickly find what we need.”
Stock management software turns tedious tasks into simple clicks of a mouse. According to Kyle, the hours saved by automating his manufacturing processes are highly valuable.
“Time saved when it comes to the clerking part of the business – as we call it – is time that we can spend on growing our business and being with our family and friends.”
We asked Kyle why he would recommend Unleashed software to other manufacturers.
“It’s quick. It’s reliable. Their support is awesome.”
