Original Software is pleased to announce that Brentwood Industries, a global leader in custom thermoplastic manufacturing, has chosen our platform to revolutionize their approach to ERP testing and quality assurance.
Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania, Brentwood operates manufacturing sites across the U.S., Czech Republic, China, and India. With operations spanning water treatment, cooling towers, medical packaging, and custom engineering, Brentwood needed a solution to bring structure and visibility to their complex testing landscape.
From spreadsheets to strategic testing
Brentwood runs a heavily customized version of Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine), and they were facing critical challenges:
- Disorganized, manual testing processes with no central oversight
- Difficulty tracking changes during ERP upgrades
- Testing delays creating deployment bottlenecks
- Loss of institutional knowledge as team members changed
Brentwood needed to address these key challenges and find a solution that gave them full visibility and clear audit trails for their testing and a smoother, faster way of getting user feedback that would help them deploy updates much quicker while reducing the risk of post go-live issues.
Long-term strategy
“Original Software has completely changed the way we approach testing,” said Ron Muth, Strategic Engagement Manager at Brentwood Industries. “It’s taken a manual, painful process and turned it into something structured, visible, and far more effective.”
The project is ongoing, but Brentwood is already seeing Original Software as a vital enabler of their digital transformation. They’re now positioned to scale testing efforts across more parts of the business while ensuring every change is tracked and validated.
Why Brentwood chose Original Software
Brentwood evaluated alternatives—including continuing with Excel and other manual methods—but needed a platform that was accessible to business users, not just IT. They chose Original Software for several compelling reasons:
- No-code simplicity that empowers non-technical users
- Automated documentation and audit trails
- Improved test management and real-time visibility
- Faster upgrades with reduced risk of post-go-live issues
“Brentwood is a perfect example of how empowering business users with the right tools can dramatically improve testing efficiency and reduce project risks,” said Michael Mochao from Original Software.
