挑战
Dave Jacoby, founder of Jacoby Custom Cues, faced significant challenges as his business grew rapidly. Despite increasing sales, profitability was not keeping pace due to the complexities of managing thousands of custom orders each year. The company needed a reliable way to better cost and price their high-end pool cues, some of which can cost over $10,000. Additionally, they required a system to manage their operations efficiently, ensuring on-time deliveries and perfect quality. The fast growth also necessitated moving to larger manufacturing spaces twice, further complicating operational management.
