Striem was founded in 2015 in Kansas City, KS and is a family owned job shop business. Striem manufactures oil separators, solids interceptors, and chemical waste tanks for commercial establishments. An oil separator is a tank, usually buried, that captures oils and sediment from commercial waste streams. They are usually found in vehicle garages or repair shops so that harmful substances don’t enter the sanitary sewer system.

Even though Striem sells to primarily to plumbing wholesalers, job costing and inventory in Jobscope is still a primary concern for the business. Striem also provides custom solutions direct to the customer and has a mix of product types in both make to stock and make to order type scenarios.

In today’s manufacturing world, Jobscope has proven to be strong in many applications. While Jobscope was founded around Engineer-to-Order and job shop manufacturing, companies like Striem have benefited from job costing of make to stock standard and variance tracking as well as the job cost, labor bar coding, and inventory functionality in the core software of Jobscope.

Striem attends the Jobscope Advisory Council regularly and Melissa Lyon, Director of Accounting & Infrastructure relays her thoughts on the in-person input and feedback of the meeting as follows:  “It was nice to meet the Jobscope staff and other Jobscope customers in person.  I find it useful to hear how other companies are using Jobscope or what their challenges are.  I have worked with most of the Jobscope team directly.  I can’t say enough complementary things about all of them.”
