PlayCore Tech Stack

Recreation product design and manufacturing with community-focused planning

Recreational Facilities Chattanooga, TN 1,001–5,000 employees Privately Held

PlayCore manufactures and designs recreation infrastructure—playgrounds, fitness equipment, turf fields—for municipalities and institutions. The tech stack reflects a heavy manufacturing operation (Epicor ERP, Rockwell Automation, CAD suite, CNC tooling) paired with project delivery tooling (Procore), now migrating from Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365. Hiring skews heavily toward manufacturing and engineering roles, and active projects center on production efficiency (waste reduction, lead-time compression, changeover optimization) and internal systems consolidation (AP automation, accounting standardization)—typical of a mid-market manufacturer scaling operations across multiple locations.
