Tallmadge Spinning & Metal Case Study
Project at a Glance
About Tallmadge Spinning and Metal:
Tallmadge Spinning and Metal (TSM) is located in Tallmadge, Ohio. They have been in business for seven decades (since 1947) and work with many leading companies in a wide variety of industries. They have been owned by the Sasanecki family for 3 generations.

The Challenge:
When we started working with TSM they were looking to replace their old Access database that was no longer meeting their needs. They were looking for a brand new system that handled their entire workflow from customers to invoicing and everything in between.
About The Visionary:
Mike Sasanecki is the visionary for the system at TSM. He is the VP of Sales at the company. His team consists of his father, John and brother, Jake as well as his purchasing manager, Steve and shipping manager, Don. They also have a full shop of employees who engineer the products and an office staff that work with the system daily.
The Vision:
The goal for the new system was to allow management of customers, vendors, shop orders, purchase orders, employees and time entries, invoices, parts, procedures, shipments and reporting. We designed the system to have a main page and allow navigation from the main page to any of the modules and from any of the modules to the related modules.
Adatasol’s Solution:
The TSM system allows Mike and his team to manage their business all in one file. Everything starts with the customers. Customers have their own parts, inventory and orders. The orders are scheduled and shipped from the system and then invoiced to the customer. Purchase orders are sent to their vendors to bring parts into the shop for production. They are able to track time for production to get real costs for each order and run reports to give them a look at the financials for each order. We worked closely with them to achieve their vision and have been happily using the system for the past several years and we continue to work with them to add more value to the system all the time. Since launching the system it has been a very smooth process with very few issues and we continue to enjoy our relationship with Mike and his team.
Services We Delivered for Tallmadge Spinning & Metal
This project required Adatasol to replace an aging Access database with a comprehensive ERP system covering the full business workflow — from customer management and quoting through production, shipping, and invoicing.
ERP Consulting
We worked with VP of Sales Mike Sasanecki and his team including purchasing, shipping, and shop floor stakeholders to define requirements across every operational area: customers, vendors, parts, shop orders, purchase orders, employee time tracking, invoicing, shipments, and reporting. We designed a modular system architecture with a central navigation hub connecting all functions.

We deployed the system across TSM's entire operation, training office staff, shop floor workers, purchasing, and management on their respective modules and workflows.
Custom Development
Our team built a complete ERP system with interconnected modules for customer management, parts and inventory tracking, shop order creation and scheduling, purchase orders, employee time entry for production cost tracking, shipping management, and invoicing all accessible from a unified main navigation page with cross-module linking.
Migration
We migrated all business data from TSM's legacy Access database into the new system customers, vendors, parts catalogs, order history, and financial records ensuring data integrity and continuity throughout the transition.
Support and Maintenance
Adatasol continues to maintain and enhance TSM's system, adding new features and value based on evolving business needs a relationship that has been in place for several years with very few issues.
ERP for Metal Fabrication and Manufacturing
Tallmadge Spinning & Metal's story is common in family-owned manufacturing businesses with decades of history the company outgrew its original database system and needed a modern ERP that could handle the full production lifecycle. Metal fabrication, spinning, stamping, laser cutting, and welding operations require precise tracking of parts, procedures, production time, and job costing all of which benefit from a unified platform.
