From Chaos To Clarity: M1 Helped Me Scale A Multi-Site Manufacturing Business 

        
At the helm of Moxon Industries, a second-generation Australian engineering firm, Sam Matandos is pushing boundaries in CNC machining, laser and waterjet cutting, and precision fabrication. From its headquarters in Sydney, the company is now expanding into Queensland and Victoria, supplying high-stakes components to the rail, mining and pharmaceutical sectors. But when Matandos set out to scale operations, he ran into a familiar challenge: aging systems that couldn’t keep pace with a growing business. 

Sam had a clear vision for how he wanted to grow but outdated systems made scaling feel more like gambling. “Driving a car in a storm at night with no headlights or dashboard was our business before M1,” he said. With Excel sheets, MYOB, and manual job cards, decisions were delayed and expansion felt risky. 

M1 gave Sam the control and clarity he needed. With integrated job costing, live dashboards, and cloud access, he could finally run the business with confidence. “We paid off the cost of M1 within 12 months. Our annual subscription pays for itself within three.”
