"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
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.
Hard to use, expensive, and often fail to deliver the promised value
Not sophisticated enough to manage high-mix manufacturing
Error-prone, ineffective, frustrating, and not scalable
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.
Stockouts caused setups to be torn down, resupplied, and re-set-up only to identify a new, different stockout.
Looking for parts, constant interruptions, and "stealing" parts from future builds in a pinch was business-as-usual.
High-value machines, vehicles, and staff sat idle waiting for low-cost items to be delivered.
The owners and best workers spent most of their time ordering and resolving stockouts.
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.
Stockouts eliminated for the most problematic parts days
Seeing this success created buy-in from shop-floor employees.
Everyone made Arda Cards to ensure supplies are always in stock
Rossmonster manages everything through Arda and doubled revenue.
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.
Rossmonster launched 3 new products with fewer custom components.
New products enabled a go-to-market approach through dealerships.
Rossmonster hired a CRO, Head of Production, and many other key roles.
