SUCCESS STORY
Cactus Varied Industries Reduces Drafting Time by Utilizing the Product Design and Manufacturing Collection
Customer Challenge
Cactus Varied Industries was looking for a new and dynamic partner to work with to manage their design software. As a division of one of the world’s largest cattle feeding companies, the portion of their business that is focused on cattle feeding is primarily project focused, while the construction equipment portion is centered on mass production. This makes their software needs unique since they require these two business segments to run parallel to one another.
Project Goals
“We were looking for a partner not just for managing technology and servers but that could help us find and utilize solutions to our problems” stated Kasey Kuriyama, Operations Manager at Cactus Varied Industries. Brian Mongkolpoonsuk, a KETIV Customer Success Manager, identified tools that would address current challenges. By learning about the business processes and challenges of the customer, KETIV was able to plug-in tools that Cactus Varied Industries were already paying for.
Solution
Other vendors Cactus Varied Industries had previously worked with would often start conversations about features within a specific product, but KETIV began by learning about their business processes and challenges. Cactus Varied Industries decided to purchase KETIV’s Streamline support package. Through the Vault Maintenance included in Streamline, KETIV helps to implement Vault and conducts quarterly reviews to make sure the Vault is working properly, and backups are being conducted.
Business Outcome
KETIV implemented a custom parts library within Inventor, resulting in 33% time savings while drafting. Kasey shared, "Our IT department enjoys working with KETIV because they help keep the servers backed up and deal with the back-end side of the technology seamlessly." Training provided through the Streamline package has allowed Cactus Varied Industries to succeed with the new tools they are being introduced to. They are also taking advantage of the Productivity and Jumpstart Training.
Conclusion
Cactus Varied Industries has utilized many pieces of Streamline to become more productive with their current processes and technology. By starting with the business outcome Cactus Varied Industries was looking to derive, KETIV helped to ensure their success.
