About this project
Atelier MG: A need to scale the business through digitization and automation of operations management
Based in Coaticook, in the Estrie region, Atelier MG has specialized in high-precision machining for over 25 years.
Renowned for its expertise and reliability, the company serves a diverse clientele across Quebec — including Montréal, Laval, Sherbrooke, Bromont, Lévis, and Québec City — in the industrial, manufacturing, agricultural, food, and aerospace sectors.
With a strong commitment to growth and continuous improvement, Atelier MG has launched an ambitious factory expansion project alongside a digital transformation of its operations.
To support this evolution, the company partnered with Agilean to implement modern technological solutions such as ALIX – Smart Assistant for the shop floor, Zoho Books for accounting management, and Zoho Analytics for real-time performance monitoring.
This strategic shift has enabled the company to empower its employees, gain greater visibility into its operational data, and achieve tighter control over production costs — all while upholding its promise to deliver precision parts that meet the highest quality standards.
Through this transformation, Atelier MG strengthens its position as an innovative and agile partner in custom machining.
Project scope
A long-term relationship
Some statistics
It all started with a factory expansion
When Atelier MG began expanding its factory, it wasn’t just an infrastructure project — it was the start of a profound transformation.
As experts in operational efficiency, we supported every stage of this evolution — from reconfiguring production workflows to integrating customized digital tools.
Thanks to our agile, results-driven approach, Atelier MG not only optimized its processes but also strengthened its ability to deliver faster and with greater flexibility.
A physical expansion, yes — but above all, a true lever for long-term performance.
More agile manufacturing operations…
In a context where small factories must deliver faster, adapt continuously, and control costs, operational agility has become a key competitive advantage.
That’s exactly what we implemented at Atelier MG — by redesigning manufacturing processes to make them smoother, more responsive, and more connected.
Thanks to our expertise in continuous improvement and smart tools like ALIX – Intelligent Assistant, our digital shop floor assistant, we help manufacturers regain control of their operations.
The result: greater flexibility, fewer losses, and an improved ability to deliver on time.
Real-time visibility
Gains real-time visibility into its manufacturing operations to make better decisions, react faster, and eliminate waste.
Real-time cost tracking
Track your production costs in real time for every order: stay in control of your margins, adjust your pricing, and continuously improve profitability.
Shop floor employee autonomy
Their production employees are more autonomous thanks to simple, visual, and connected tools.
They’ve gained both efficiency and engagement on the shop floor.
Real-time business intelligence…
The Atelier MG team now makes faster, more informed decisions thanks to real-time dashboards.
By connecting data from different systems — sales, production, and finance — they now have access to interactive dashboards that reflect the current state of their operations.
This visibility makes it possible to identify variances, anticipate issues, and continuously optimize performance.
An essential approach for companies that want to remain agile and proactive.
Migration from Acomba to Zoho Books
By migrating from Acomba to Zoho Books, the company took a major step forward in the digital transformation of its accounting operations.
This transition made it possible to unify invoicing, expense tracking, and payment management within a single cloud-based platform, accessible in real time.
Result: improved financial visibility, fewer manual tasks, and simplified collaboration between accounting and operations teams.
