Introduction
Organizations operating in highly regulated manufacturing and field service environments require enterprise platforms capable of supporting complex project execution, operational visibility, and long-term service management.
For companies serving Department of Defense and mission-critical industries, disconnected systems and aging ERP platforms can limit operational agility, complicate compliance, and reduce visibility across manufacturing, project, and service operations.
Challenge
Replacing a legacy ERP environment built for a less complex business.
Nomad Global Communication Solutions, a provider of modular manufacturing and mobile command solutions, was operating on a legacy Microsoft Dynamics ERP environment that no longer supported the complexity of its operations.
The organization needed a more integrated platform capable of supporting complex manufacturing, project execution, field service, compliance, and long-term scalability.
Complex Manufacturing & Project Execution
Nomad GCS needed stronger support for project-driven manufacturing workflows.
Limited WIP & Revenue Visibility
The legacy environment limited visibility into work-in-process and revenue recognition.
Disconnected Field Service Operations
The organization needed integrated field service and lifecycle equipment management.
Highly Regulated Requirements
Department of Defense compliance and operational governance were critical requirements.
Turning Point
Selecting IFS Cloud for visibility, control, and scalability.
Nomad GCS evaluated multiple ERP platforms, including Microsoft Dynamics, Infor SyteLine, and Epicor, before selecting IFS Cloud and Astra Canyon as the best fit for its operational and regulatory requirements.
“This project was about far more than replacing an ERP system—it was about building a foundation for how we operate going forward.”
-Seth Schmautz, COO, Nomad GCS
Execution
Collaborative, regulated, and built for long-term growth.
Astra Canyon partnered closely with Nomad GCS throughout the evaluation, planning, and implementation process, combining deep IFS expertise with an understanding of complex manufacturing and regulated operational environments.
01 – Unified Operations Alignment
Aligned manufacturing, project, sales, and service operations within a single platform.
02 – WIP & Revenue Recognition Visibility
Improved work-in-process visibility and revenue recognition processes.
03 – Field Service & Lifecycle Management
Established integrated field service and equipment lifecycle management capabilities.
04 – Compliance Validation
Validated Department of Defense compliance requirements and operational governance needs.
05 – Workshops & Collaborative Planning
Supported deep-dive solution workshops, operational demonstrations, and planning sessions.
Outcome
A connected operational foundation for manufacturing, projects, and service.
Following deployment, Nomad GCS established a more connected and scalable operational foundation across manufacturing, project execution, and field service operations.
The implementation was successfully delivered in under 12 months, going live on January 5, 2026, on time, on budget, and at agreed scope.
Results:
Legacy ERP Successfully Replaced
Nomad GCS replaced its Microsoft Dynamics ERP environment with IFS Cloud.
Improved Operational Visibility
Teams gained stronger visibility across manufacturing, project, and service operations.
Enhanced WIP & Revenue Support
The new platform improved support for work-in-process tracking and revenue recognition.
Integrated Field Service Capabilities
Field service and equipment lifecycle management were brought into a connected environment.
Stronger Regulated Operations Alignment
The platform supports operational needs within a highly regulated environment.
Scalable Foundation for Growth
Nomad GCS is positioned for continued growth and operational modernization.
“IFS Cloud gives us the visibility, control, and scalability we need to support complex manufacturing and project work.”
-Seth Schmautz, COO, Nomad GCS
WHY IT MATTERS
Complex manufacturers need ERP partners who understand execution, service, and compliance.
Manufacturers operating in project-driven and highly regulated environments need more than a traditional ERP implementation partner.
They need a partner who understands how manufacturing, field service, compliance, and operational execution intersect in complex organizations.
This engagement demonstrates Astra Canyon’s ability to help organizations modernize legacy ERP environments while creating scalable operational foundations built for long-term growth, visibility, and service excellence.
