The pressure is real. We make it easier to make the right decisions.

Business leaders in today’s manufacturing environment face a breadth of challenges, from preparing for the factory of the future to combating demand shock and shifting workforce dynamics. Among our manufacturing, industrial and business-to-business wholesale/distribution clients, decisions around these issues affect everyone down the line. 

Advanced Industry 4.0 technologies are central to turning many of today’s challenges into opportunities, and organizations that haven’t started laying the groundwork for such technologies won’t be able to scale efficiently and adapt for the future.  

Informed operational and financial advice can help manufacturers develop visibility into every aspect of their supply chain, quickly assess supply chain resiliency and stand ready to act in an uncertain global economic climate. Our teams can help your organization strategize around the right systems to accelerate growth, gauge the impact of automated technologies on the makeup of your workforce, and find solutions to issues you face around revenue growth, risk management, global operations and more. 

Manufacturing clients benefit most from specialized experience in:

The automotive sector is challenged by fierce competition, a sharp focus on costs and regulatory oversight. Trends toward global sourcing and distributed assembly are also factors. Our team understands the business and technical issues you face.

Data Analytics

Element Solutions

After years of acquisitions, Florida-based chemicals company Element Solutions Inc faced a good problem: how to integrate and harmonize data from all the various technology systems it owned after such significant growth.

Read the case study

"As someone who is used to a traditional audit background, you hear about these technologies, but you think, ‘That doesn’t apply, we have standards to follow, what if it failed? But RSM’s team helped to 'demystify it.’ They explained it in a way you can really understand it, and how it impacts you.”

- Colm McKenna, Vice President of Internal Audit and Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance, Element Solutions

Managed IT services

Austin Wood Recycling 

By transitioning to a cloud-based infrastructure, AWR is now better positioned to scale their operations as they expand into new markets. The elimination of on-premises hardware has also reduced the risk of system failures and downtime, providing a more secure IT environment.

Read the case study

“Everything was scattered before RSM stepped in. We had some services from this company, some from others. We pulled from different areas. The equipment wasn’t always compatible. Today, everything is unified.”

- Justin Tolar, information technology manager, Austin Wood Recycling

Dayforce

Tredegar Corporation

Tredegar Corporation, a plastic films and aluminum extrusions manufacturer, recently leveraged RSM support to implement the Dayforce HCM platform to elevate their people processes.

Read the case study

"If I could have done anything different as far as the Dayforce project, it would've been to engage RSM early in the process and in the planning to make sure that we were set up to get through the implementation the best that we could the first time."

- Becky Seckora, Director, Payroll and Benefits, Tredegar Corporation

NetSuite

Wild Goose Filling

The leadership team decided in 2018 that the business needed to adopt a system that could run as many aspects of operations as possible, from customer relationship management to inventory visibility. Wild Goose decided to engage RSM—which the company was already working with on other projects—to implement NetSuite for their business.

Read the case study

“I feel like there was a personal touch. Rather than saying, ‘Well, most companies do this,’ RSM's team was willing to listen and understand what about what we were doing was unique and special and finding a solution.”

- Jordan Edwards, Director of Operations, Wild Goose Filling

Dayforce

Payroll solutions

Payroll is a vital function within any organization, contributing directly to employee satisfaction, retention, continuity and productivity. However, evolving regulatory demands complicate payroll processes, creating potential legal and financial risks. Tredegar Corporation relies on RSM to support internal payroll staff and successfully leverage payroll technology.

Read the case study

"As a manager, there's always a need to make sure that your team is secure in how they operate. To retain RSM for ongoing payroll support gives the company the security that's necessary to know that payroll will always get done no matter who's able to be in the office, who's on vacation or who's out sick. We all can still deliver what we need to from a payroll standpoint."

- Becky Seckora, Director, Payroll and Benefits, Tredegar Corporation
