Ron Crowl, former President and CEO of FeneTech Inc., has announced the formation of Clevaris Solutions, a new professional services company dedicated to helping window, door and glass manufacturers maximize the value of their ERP/MES technology investments. The company is preparing to begin operations Jan. 1, 2027.
Clevaris Solutions will focus on ERP/MES implementation, configuration, software engineering, system integration, optimization and ongoing support. The company brings particular expertise in FeneVision, including integrating FeneVision with other enterprise and manufacturing applications.
"Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with some truly exceptional people across the window, door and glass industry," says Crowl. "One thing I've always believed is that successful technology projects require more than great software. They require people who understand the manufacturing business, know the technology, and are genuinely committed to helping customers succeed."
The company plans to offer flexible service arrangements ranging from full implementations and system enhancements to fractional professional services and long-term support. These options are intended to help manufacturers access experienced resources for projects of different sizes and durations.
"We recognize that manufacturers have different needs at different times," Crowl said. "Some need assistance with a major implementation, while others need specialized engineering expertise, help improving an existing system, or additional support for their internal teams. Our goal is to provide the right expertise, in the right way, when customers need it."
Crowl said Clevaris will emphasize responsive service, practical manufacturing knowledge and long-term customer relationships.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to build something new while remaining connected to an industry and community that have been such an important part of my professional life," he said. "We're looking forward to assembling a talented team, reconnecting with longtime industry colleagues, and developing new relationships with manufacturers who can benefit from our experience."
