Prudent American Automates Manufacturing with Orchid and NetSuite Technology

Prudent American, a leading manufacturer of precision injection molded and machined parts for the firearms industry announces the launch of its advanced manufacturing and ATF compliance platform. Prudent American executives have integrated their NetSuite ERP with Orchid eBound, Orchid eSerial and its laser engraving center to increase throughput while enhancing compliance and financial reporting.

Jon Rydberg, CEO of Orchid Advisors, commented: “It’s fantastic to see another part of the JJE Capital Holdings’ family deploy best-in-class technology for the broader benefit of operations, finance and compliance. Prudent was able to utilize our automated firearm laser engraving application, Orchid eSerial, in a unique way to speak directly to NetSuite for production reporting and Orchid eBound for real-time ATF acquisition reporting. Coupled with the American Firearms Edition of NetSuite, from Business Solution Partners (BSP) and a custom label generation program, from RF Smart, the Prudent American team has built their operations for long-term, competitive success.”

Prudent American’s launch into their next phase of manufacturing automation concluded with a focus on firearm engraving. The team has now deployed Orchid eSerial to eliminate manual serial number inputs to their laser marking devices. The benefits of which are improved control over serial number handling, the elimination of duplication risk, and the ability to tightly control serial number ranges by model, while eliminating all manual processes required to acquire newly engraved firearms.

Rydberg further states, “We’re really happy to see how far Orchid eSerial has grown in the last few years. The application now integrates with over 10 major laser and mechanical devices for controlling serial numbers at numerous major firearms manufacturing facilities. It’s an honor to work along side Prudent American and their affiliate, JJE Capital Holdings.”

JJE Capital Holdings is the parent company to DC Machine and Palmetto State Armory, which has multiple manufacturing facilities, a distribution facility, an eCommerce business, and twelve retail store locations. The JJE Capital Holdings’ family of companies relies on the Orchid eBound / eSerial and eFFL API platforms to power the company’s focus on maintaining best-in-class compliance.

Julian Wilson, of Prudent American, commented: “Orchid integration using eBound eSerial and eFFL API platforms has taken out much of the human element in serial number management and compliance. Harnessing the power of technology has allowed Prudent to optimize efficiency while managing licensing expectations for firearms manufacturers”
