Shaping the Future of Complex Manufacturing

We are officially renaming our flagship event from “Customer Day” to “Community Day”. 

The name change reflects our enthusiasm in welcoming not only our valued customers and partners but also many new faces from companies outside our current network. 
Hosting everyone together in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, was a true pleasure, and we’re looking forward to seeing our community continue to grow. 

It was wonderful to see a network of like-minded professionals and forward-thinkers exchanging new insights, proven best practices, and inspiring stories of how Manufacturo is enhancing manufacturing operations.

Brad Morian, Senior Director of Engineering Enablement, and Joe Alvares, Operations Application Product Owner, shared their own success story.

In their search for a new manufacturing software solution, Sierra sought more than standard operating procedures. They needed a partner who could adapt to their unique vision. Manufacturo was selected for the potential to deliver expertise, flexibility, and modern technology to truly transform its operations.

The collaborative partnership has proven to be everything they were originally looking for and more. Manufacturo continues to exceed expectations and bring its vision to life. 

We extend our gratitude to Sierra Space for hosting us at their factory and providing a tour of their facilities. 

Collaborating with our client for our first community event was a true pleasure. 

An immersive learning experience future-proofing your business

First, we prioritize transparency and honesty in all our communications, ensuring that our customers and prospects have a clear understanding of our initiatives and their underlying purpose. Second, we believe that feedback—both positive and constructive—is a valuable gift. Our customers are not just users; they are our partners in this journey. The recent MCD experience exemplified these values, facilitating a remarkable exchange of knowledge that proved beneficial for everyone involved.

Quote - The 20+ customers who joined us to learn about our typical implementation reaffirms a core competitive advantage of Manufacturo--allowing you to go live in weeks rather than in months. This speed is enabled by our SaaS model, targeted, industry-focused capabilities with our breadth of experience, and packaging of our past service-based enablers, including standard interfaces to third-party ERP/PLM.

Quote - The insightful questions and feedback from our attendees reinforced the tremendous value of our bold, forward-thinking product direction, particularly within Manufacturo's advanced Quality Solutions. Our approach—extending far beyond traditional nonconformance and quality fundamentals, with a sharp focus on human-centered design—clearly struck a powerful chord. Even more energizing was seeing our current customers actively network, engage, and share real, unfiltered stories with prospective attendees. This gave guests firsthand insight into our capabilities, challenges, and what it truly means to partner with us. It’s a testament to the fact that we’re not just a SaaS provider—we’re deeply invested in shaping our customers' business processes, sharing in their mission and their success as true partners.
