During the January – March 2019 timeframe, new metalcasting companies signing to the Cloud-based Odyssey ERP software system included:

  • Homer, Michigan-based and family-owned Calhoun Foundry Co, Inc. has been producing grey and ductile iron since 1943;

Several long-time B&L customers on the BLIS software system upgraded to B&L’s Odyssey SaaS ERP:

Designed to meet the business process of metalcasters, Odyssey software has built-in graphic KPIs, heat and flask scheduling, an integrated pattern tracking system, and surcharges for both metal and energy as well as an included metal recipe system which defines the composition of the metal grade by both alloy cost and requirements. From the shop floor to the front office, Odyssey integrates all the information foundries and die casters need for business success into one ERP system.
