The business development program is to add an enterprise resource planning system, this system will track quality control data and assist the management in making timely informed decisions. Adding this system will eliminate duplicate data entry and improve overall operational efficiency. Bradeans co-owners are saying that they need to do this for the ability to grow the business, eliminate all the paperwork and allow employees to actually track what the costs will be for each job allow users to track delivery times. Efficiency will be improved dramatically.

The company builds built-to specifications products including drop hammer dies, stretched form blocks and injection moulds. By continuing and improving it's infrastructure and processes the company has been able to meet the demanding requirements of the aerospace industry. One of the biggest improvement was to add a five-axis vertical milling center with a robotic arm. This machine produces highly complex parts with intricate shapes that will enable Bradeans to create new types of components with great efficiency. ACOA has provided 223 thousand dollars in repayable contributions to this project to that was valued well over 1 million dollars, the company itself will invest the rest of the money.
