Customer Spotlight
Ex-Guard
Industry: Manufacturing (Heavy-Duty Truck Equipment)
About the Customer
Ex-Guard is a leading U.S. based manufacturer of heavy-duty grille guards for commercial trucks, serving fleets through a large dealer network across North America.
The Challenge
Complex manufacturing operations and disconnected systems made it difficult for Ex-Guard to scale, coordinate dealer-driven orders, and maintain visibility across production, inventory, and financials.
The Solution
Ex-Guard implemented GoldFinch ERP + Accounting, going live on Salesforce in under a month. The solution unified dealer orders, production planning, inventory control, and financial reporting into a single system, giving the team real-time visibility across the business and streamlined order-to-production workflows. Salesforce is now rolled out across the shop floor, where barcode scanners register employee production and update work orders in real time.
The finance module is very impressive. We moved from Accounting Seed after being on Accounting Seed for two years. Goldfinch’s finance module is substantially faster than Accounting Seed and is more user-friendly and comprehensive to use. Finance reports can be run in a few seconds, and accounting periods do not need to be closed to run balance sheets.
I am also very impressed with the Goldfinch team and their willingness to customize the solution to work exactly how we want it to. I also really like how they incorporate customer feedback into their new releases to make the product better for everyone else.“
