The company has developed a 3D Forward Looking Sonar (FLS) system that allows ship and boat operators to see what lies underwater up to 1000 meters or 0.5 nautical miles ahead of the vessel. As most of our oceans are still uncharted or have outdated charts, this enables ships to safely navigate the vast unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When FarSounder was founded in 2001, navigation tech could not yet tell marine operators what lay in the ocean ahead of their vessel. While sonar was nothing new, it could only tell seafarers what was below them, not what was in front of them. FarSounder came to the market with a new configuration of the technology, employing new algorithms and developing software to effectively utilize the sonar system. In 2005, they shipped their first units and today, they offer a globally recognized product line that increases maritime safety wherever their systems are deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner-v2\">\n    <p class=\"banner-v2__desc\">Get complete control over your inventory with MRPeasy<\/p>\n    <a class=\"banner-v2__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-event=\"blog_signup_banner_blue\">Try for free<\/a>\n<\/div>\t\t<style>.banner-v2 {\n    float: right;\n    display: flex;\n    flex-direction: column;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    padding: 40px 32px;\n    gap: 16px;\n    width: 356px;\n    height: 205px;\n    background: linear-gradient(199.68deg, #6084E5 13.17%, #5FA7DD 82.1%);\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    margin-left: 12px;\n    margin-bottom: 12px;\n    margin-top: 15px;\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 767.98px) {\n    .banner-v2 {\n         width: 100%;\n         height: 173px;\n         margin-bottom: 0;\n         margin-left: 0;\n    }\n}\n\n.single__content p.banner-v2__desc {\n    margin: 0 !important;\n}\n\np.banner-v2__desc {\n    width: 292px;\n    font-style: normal;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 22px;\n    line-height: 29px !important;\n    text-align: center;\n    color: #FFFFFF;\n    margin: 0 !important;\n    order: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link {\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}\n\na.banner-v2__link {\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    width: 181px;\n    height: 51px;\n    padding: 18px 0;\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    background: #003557;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n    text-decoration: none !important;\n    order: 1 !important;\n}\n\n.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    background: white;\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}<\/style>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accounting_software_could_not_handle_inventory_management\"><\/span>Accounting software could not handle inventory management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, the company was using QuickBooks Desktop for accounting and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/inventory-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inventory management<\/a>. According to founder and CEO Matt Zimmerman, the company\u2019s inventory management requirements were too sophisticated for the accounting software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe saw three options: to stay as we were with QuickBooks Desktop, implement a cloud-based accounting solution along with a third-party inventory integration, or move on to a very complicated and expensive accounting and process management tool,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Zimmerman and his team did not see a need for a complicated ERP system, they considered QuickBooks Online in combination with the natively integrated inventory apps. Three or four solutions made it to the trialing stage, from which <a href=\"https:\/\/mrpeasy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MRPeasy<\/a> emerged as the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the things that set MRPeasy apart was its very robust <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/material-requirements-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">material requirements planning<\/a> functionality,\u201d Zimmerman states. \u201cHaving the system tell us exactly what we can make with existing inventory and what we need to build a certain number of products made a huge difference. We couldn\u2019t find a solution with better manufacturing inventory management capabilities at this price point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zimmerman also noticed that many of the solutions available on the QuickBooks App Store were focused on e-commerce and tracking web shop inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were not interested in that at all,\u201d he says. \u201cWe needed manufacturing-specific functionality: tracking components and forecasting our requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_unbeatable_balance_of_functionality_and_price\"><\/span>An unbeatable balance of functionality and price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implementation of MRPeasy started in the autumn of 2020 and was executed by Zimmerman and two of his colleagues. Starting from January 1, 2021, the new system went live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although FarSounder has rolled out the software to cover inventory management, sales, purchases, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/bill-of-materials\/\">bills of materials<\/a>, their production volumes are not yet at a level that would require them to use MRPeasy\u2019s production scheduling functionality. As the software enables users to pick and choose which functions their company currently needs, FarSounder, like many clients, opted to roll out the software gradually, as the business expands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight now, we are working on implementing quality inspections and returns management,\u201d Zimmerman states. \u201cSometimes we need to take products back for rework and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/return-merchandise-authorization-rma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RMA module<\/a> helps us manage this without complicating our inventory management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Material_planning_time_was_cut_by_around_90\"><\/span>Material planning time was cut by around 90%<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, two and a half years after starting to use MRPeasy, FarSounder is seeing many benefits from implementing the software. Zimmerman especially highlights the visibility the new system has brought to the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBeing able to see all of our orders and what needs to be built along with inventory requirements for fulfilling those orders has brought the most value to our business,\u201d he says. \u201cIn addition, the serial number and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/how-manufacturing-erp-streamlines-lot-tracking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stock lot tracking<\/a> functionality is a very effective way for keeping tabs on inventory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most impressive feat of the new system, however, is how much it has reduced the time spent on material planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUsing our previous system, it took me a day to understand what parts we needed to order and when,\u201d Zimmerman says. \u201cWith MRPeasy, it takes less than an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>You may also like: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/success-story-anicell-biotech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This Is the Perfect Software for 95% of Small Manufacturers, Says Biotech Manufacturing CEO<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marine navigation device manufacturer FarSounder turned to MRP software to help with the complexities of inventory management and procurement. \u201cUsing our previous system, it took me a day to understand what parts we needed to order and when.
