Yarl Metal moved high-variation, made-to-order fabrication onto one adaptable system from job inception to final shipment.

Yarl Metal produces highly variable, made-to-order parts, often 100 pieces with 100 different processes. Their legacy ERP couldn’t keep up.

Having everything on one system, from job inception to final shipment, gives us a wealth of data to analyze. We can identify profitable jobs, optimize material usage, and streamline processes. By consolidating information into a single system, we’ve eliminated the need for ad-hoc spreadsheets and significantly reduced manual effort.

Why it worked

Yarl needed software that could reflect the way the shop actually runs. Tangle’s flexible data model and workflow builder let the team consolidate operational data without forcing every job into a rigid template.

That mattered because Yarl’s work is not repetitive mass production. Jobs change, processes vary, and the value of the system comes from adapting around those exceptions while still keeping the core operating record clean.
