Furniture, apparel, soft goods and other labor-intensive product manufacturers face an array of formidable business challenges. Meanwhile, age-old demands on manufacturers to reduce costs, increase productivity, accelerate throughput time, ensure quality, and engage employees have not only remained but intensified.
Labor-intensive product manufacturers have come to a crucial realization. Automation and information technology are no longer options but necessities to overcome today’s challenges. This fact became evident when many companies turned to technology to survive the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and other tough challenges.
While there are plenty of investments you can make to improve your manufacturing business, resources are finite and automating specific operations will not deliver the operations-wide visibility, agility, productivity and cost improvements that IPE Shop Floor Solutions can deliver today.
To significantly increase productivity and reduce costs, the smartest and most effective investment you can make is in an IPE Shop Floor Control solution. Adding IPE solutions is the single best thing you can do today to make your business more competitive and profitable.
Or Combine the Two to Fit Your Needs and Budget
IPE’s cost-effective and easy-to-use IP-Batch™ Shop Floor Control solution uses handheld scanners and barcoded work tickets to deliver time & attendance management, daily production data collection, order tracking, quality control, incentive payroll processing, and a broad range of manufacturing KPI reporting. Labor cost reports identify where excess costs exist in your manufacturing operation.
The IP-Realtime™ Shop Floor Control Solution uses tablet computers and Wi-Fi networking to capture and report all production activities as they occur throughout the day. Production workers, supervisors, managers and executives are empowered to make faster, better-informed decisions with an always up-to-date view of processes, productivity/efficiency, order status, quality performance, and other KPIs.

“IPE’s real-time shop floor visibility and operator-level performance metrics have transformed the way we manage our manufacturing operations. With immediate access to accurate production data, Century Furniture has improved order management and operational efficiency. Our employees are more engaged and now make faster, better-informed decisions. What truly sets IPE apart is the partnership. They have consistently delivered exceptional service and support.”
“Perhaps the biggest benefit overall has been the shop floor transparency that IPE provides. Supervisors can identify operations that are not performing as expected and take appropriate action. Or we can duplicate our superstars’ methods to bring everybody up and raise overall productivity.”
“The IP system is user-friendly, while accommodating our complex processing needs. The IP support team is quick to provide a response and resolution when the need arises.”
“We recognized that we needed a digital solution to stay continuously informed and take the actions necessary to ensure optimal productivity and flow. After evaluating several systems, IPE stood out to us due to its user-friendly operation and the real-time presentation of up-to-the-minute information.”
“Our first core value is efficiency, and we are committed to utilizing the latest technology to improve quality and production. We look forward to equipping our production and management teams with the always up-to-date information and analytics they need to make better-informed and more timely business decisions.”
“We recognized the need for a modern, digital solution. When we evaluated the IPE system, we realized that the traditional paper-based gum sheet method of managing incentives was like a hammer and chisel compared to IPE. Real-time information will help us avoid bottlenecks and better balance production lines and flow.”
We expect IPE to streamline payroll processing and simplify integration with our ADP gross-to-net payroll service. Additionally, we anticipate streamlining shop floor control capabilities by being able to more easily monitor production and report on efficiency and movement of work-in-progress.
