About DPS Skis

Rapid growth, high seasonal demand, an expensive product & low margin for error combine to hold DPS back

Dedicated to ‘the mystery encountered during a slide across deep snow’, DPS Skis designs and manufactures the world’s most advanced skis from its base in Utah, USA. Founded in 2005 through the partnership of professional skier and ski designer Stephan Drake and leading ski engineer Peter Turner, DPS Skis sells and ships their skis and associated products worldwide.

Reliance on too many systems

DPS had to run QuickBooks alongside other programs, which would eat up to five hours a day.

"In the beginning, we kept all our skis in one location; we took orders, manufactured at an outside location, and shipped the product. Then, as we grew, we set up our own factory in Salt Lake City; it soon became apparent that QuickBooks was challenged."

Delivering efficiency through a single system

DELMIAWorks provides control over accounting and inventory

Before DELMIAWorks, DPS struggled with complex integrations between numerous systems, including QuickBooks and other manual processes that consumed numerous hours a day. Since implementing DELMIAWorks, DPS no longer needs to integrate between order entry and other enterprise systems to verify inventory. Everything is handled in a single, efficient software package.

Real-time visibility boosts transparency

DELMIAWorks creates a transparent supply chain

DPS's production process isn’t linear, with a high percentage of their production being conducted during their slow season. DELMIAWorks enables their sales teams to confidently reserve and commit inventory in advance, based on location and real-time availability for a more transparent supply chain.

"For the first time, all our data is in the same place.The inventory problems that we based our test cases on have been solved. That’s huge for us. We had a big sales event in the summer, and after implementing DELMIAWorks we didn’t fall into any of the usual traps. Things ran so smoothly that it was super exciting for us."
