No matter how specific or varied the scope of your business is, opening a new facility is a big step, and the further you plan ahead, the more you might need business management software to make the most strategic use of your equipment and space. According to the Fort Wayne Business Journal, electrical supply company Breyden Products Inc. is planning on opening a new location in the Whitley County area.

The plan is to both take on more workers and a larger space, and as the company's co-owner Mike Zuber said, this seems to stem especially from the connection that the company has to the business community within the state, which he calls "a wonderful place to have a business." Breyden already maintains one building, its main office, in Columbia City.

"Our economic development groups here in Whitley County and with the state are true partners and constantly look for ways for us to save money, help grow our business and ultimately hire more employees," Zuber said in a release. "We value our relationship with them."

The expansion into the new facility will cost more than $2 million, but the company has also secured grants and tax credits from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.

Especially when the inventory of a company is varied and appeals to a large range of different buyers, it's critical for all assets to be properly tracked through the best quality of software for manufacturing. Businesses in this industry should seek out these kinds of services to help in the evolution of the process.
