Client:
Telsmith manufactures a full line of
engineered products designed for use in
processing aggregates, recycled
concrete, recycled asphalt and raw
minerals mining.
Challenge: Telsmith was losing
orders due to the slow customer response
time. They needed a system that could
help them reduce the time to market
while meeting the demands of the
specific customer requirements.
Solution: Telsmith implemented
the Microsoft Industrial Equipment
Solution for Dynamics AX, including the
product configurator and the engineering
change management system. With
consulting services from Streamline
Systems, Telsmith implemented a system
that allowed customer service
representatives to quickly enter orders
of complex configurations without the
need for expensive engineering
resources. As well, engineering changes
made on their machines took far less
time to make.
Result: Optimizing Telsmith
business processes into the Industrial
Equipment Solution reduced product
development, improved time-to-market,
increased productivity and reduced late
shipments. Telsmith was able to grow
their sales while significantly reducing
their operating costs.

first-of-a-kind products such as
sunscreen, acne products and lipid-free
skin cleansers. DPT develops,
manufactures and distributes leading

Fortune 500 consumer products companies.
Challenge: DPT Labs needed a
solution to support their multi-site
subcontract manufacturing and
distribution requirements. They were
losing money/orders due to their lack of
ability to satisfy customer demand. This
was caused by poorly decentralized
planning and a lack of integrated
process control in a highly controlled
industry.
They bought Streamline Systems' solution
because they believed that our expert
consulting team could quickly implement
business processes with a new
information technology solution to help
them improve their business.
Solution: By implementing
Streamline Systems Industrial Equipment

the planning and accounting functions
while maintaining a decentralized
purchasing function. The documentation
satisfied GMP requirements, with a
process based interface to the software.
Training efforts and process errors were
reduced.

increased sales due to better
responsiveness to customer demand, and
lower costs due to centralizing the
planning functions. DPT was able to
reduce headcount and lower inventory
costs.
