PCBA and electronics contract manufacturer for defense and rapid prototyping
IMS manufactures printed circuit boards and electronics for defense and industrial customers, with a stack centered on SAP, NetSuite, and Infor SyteLine for supply-chain and production control. Active projects reveal a heavy defense focus—laser designators, range finders, and technical roadmaps dominate the pipeline—alongside internal IT modernization (engineering change control, 3-5 year strategic plan). Engineering and manufacturing hires account for 70% of current open roles, signaling production capacity scaling amid supply-chain headwinds: long-lead component risk, supplier performance, and component obsolescence are top operational pain points.
Founded in 2005, IMS operates as a contract manufacturer and rapid-prototype shop for electronics and PCBA production. The company serves defense, aerospace, and industrial customers who need fast turnaround and precision manufacturing where traditional EMS providers fall short. Based in Manchester, NH, with 51–200 employees, IMS operates a vertically integrated supply and production operation—SAP and NetSuite manage procurement and inventory, Infor SyteLine handles production control, while SolidWorks, LabVIEW, and CAD tools support engineering design and test. Current growth is constrained by supply-chain friction and component availability, driving strategic focus on supplier partnerships and cost control.
SAP, NetSuite, and Infor SyteLine are core production and supply-chain platforms. Engineering relies on SolidWorks, LabVIEW, TestStand, and CAD; reporting uses Power BI and Tableau.
Defense programs dominate: laser designator and range finder development. Internal priorities include engineering change control implementation and a 3-5 year strategic IT roadmap.
