Jonell, Inc., a Texas-based powerhouse in filtration and separation equipment, has been a trusted name in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries since 1987. With over 9,000 filter elements in various configurations and micron ratings, Jonell is a go-to choice for quality replacement elements. The company’s commitment to ISO-certified quality control ensures that every customer order meets rigorous standards.

The Challenge

Jonell faced rapid growth and increased demand for exclusive filtration products. However, their existing proprietary system lacked essential features for real-time information, integration, and automation. Managing various business functions across three separate, non-integrated software systems became laborious and error prone. This led to inventory issues, production bottlenecks, and scheduling problems.

Build-to-order sales also suffered, causing significant delays and inventory shortages. The manual handling of information consumed valuable time and resources.

With over 35% of business being export-oriented, Jonell needed a robust solution that could provide real-time information, handle ISO quality requirements, and keep up with increasing build-to-order sales.

The Solution

Jonell turned to an AccountMate solution provider known for solving complex business challenges. After a thorough analysis, they recommended implementing AccountMate’s SQL financial system for its scalability and open architecture. They also addressed shop floor processing with Manufacturing Conductor™, a comprehensive solution for real-time production management.

Raw materials were bar-coded upon receipt and tracked through the manufacturing process with data capture. This streamlined shop floor management, reduced bottlenecks, and improved customer satisfaction. Manufacturing Conductor seamlessly integrated with AccountMate, capturing inventory data for real-time reporting on costs and quantities.

To support ISO quality control, the system enabled swift identification, documentation, and resolution of problems or non-conformances.

The Result

Jonell’s transformation was a resounding success. They received real-time information, integration, and automation to manage quality standards effectively. AccountMate software scales effortlessly to accommodate their growing sales and production volumes. Employees quickly adapted to the system and use it efficiently.

With the help of AccountMate and Manufacturing Conductor, Jonell achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification within a year of software implementation, enhancing their global business prospects.

Jonell, Inc. stands as a testament to how innovative technology solutions can revolutionize an industry, making processes more efficient and businesses more competitive.
