Panel Manufacturer OIS Leverages Offsight to Deliver Large Scale Projects in America's Fastest Growing Cities

• Real-time production dashboard
• Multi-factory quality tracking
• Automated reporting & auditing

OIS selected Offsight to manage the complexities of commercial and residential projects across multiple factories. Using Offsight, OIS can oversee the manufacturing and assembly of hundreds of panels across multiple factories and multiple projects in the Southwestern US.

Offsight's Live Dashboard enables factory managers, project managers, and other project stakeholders to have a real-time update on production progress. OIS can load their production schedule to track assembly, pinpoint production delays, and be notified if orders are running behind their target delivery dates, which is essential for meeting the tight delivery schedules on major commercial and residential projects. This kind of factory-wide visibility is especially valuable as OIS scales to serve more simultaneous commercial and residential projects across its growing footprint.

As demand surged across the Southwest, OIS faced growing pressure to coordinate production across multiple factories at once, each turning out large volumes of light gauge steel panels for major commercial and residential projects. Without a shared, real-time view of what was happening on each factory floor, keeping every project on its target delivery date became harder to manage as the company scaled.

Non-conformance errors are also far more expensive to fix once a panel has reached the job site than when caught during factory assembly, making it important for OIS to identify and resolve quality issues before shipment rather than after installation had already begun.

Before adopting Offsight, OIS managed production visibility the way most panel manufacturers scaling across multiple factories do: through manual reporting, spreadsheets, and phone or email updates between factory floors and project managers. Tracking a single project's progress meant piecing together status updates from each location separately.

That approach made it harder to catch production delays or assembly issues early, since problems at one factory were not always visible to managers overseeing the broader project, and quality checks depended more heavily on manual coordination rather than a shared, real-time system.

How Offsight Sets OIS Up for Long-Term Success.

As OIS scales their factory operations to keep up with the rapidly increasing demand for new commercial and residential construction in the Southwest, Offsight can easily be adapted and expanded to handle the complexities of their process. Multiple factory accounts can be linked through Offsight’s Linked Account functionality across various locations. This feature allows executives and managers to easily monitor daily production across their factories for its multiple commercial and residential projects and potentially fill capacity when production lines are available.

Offsight also enables OIS to establish tailored quality and conformance workflows for each panel it assembles. Inspectors and factory workers can immediately flag assembly problems or non-conformance errors in real time, generating alerts that are tracked, assigned, and resolved through Offsight's Alerts Dashboard before panels ship.

Catching these issues at the factory, rather than after panels reach the job site, prevents non-conformance errors that would be far more expensive to fix on site, helping keep major commercial and residential projects on schedule.

Furthermore, Offsight’s Reporting & Auditing functionality can be accessed across these linked factory accounts to provide project stakeholders with automated consistent daily reports and progress updates.
