“NWIRC was key to our growth.”

Mike Weber, president
Smith Provision Company, Inc.
Erie, Pa.

Even with all their success, Mike Weber and the team at Smith Provision knew they needed some help.

“We knew we had to make some changes in order to continue to compete for market share,” said Weber. “But as a small business, we just didn’t have the planning experts on staff to guide us through that change.”

That’s where the NWIRC came in.

“The NWIRC led us through the strategic planning process, which helped us to identify—and prioritize—the need for automation in order to streamline operations and to compete. As a result of that process, we recently made a significant investment into automation. And today, we’re in a much better position to go head-on with our larger competitors.”
