A diamond-grade tool logistics system
Even an organized, well-run company can have a hard time getting a firm handle on its costs. Our tool logistics software and hardware can help with this key task, while also keeping track of what you are buying and using.
A Canadian company that knows a lot about digging deep to find what its customers are looking for — in this case, diamonds extracted with high-quality tools — found itself digging around too much with its current tool inventory system. While the tool inventory was well organized, tracking actual costs was difficult and time consuming.
Enter our tool logistics software and hardware combination. With long-standing ties to the company, we were able to team up with channel partner BDI to offer a seamless, more efficient solution for the tool logistics needs.
Improved cost control
Our sales engineer showed the company how the tool logistics system could give a better understanding of its inventory and to get a precise picture of the costs. The offered solution was right on target so the company decided to purchase it.
“They estimated we’d save 20%, but I didn’t see where the savings would come from, but now I do,” a senior manager said. “It saves us so much time in ordering, saves time with our supplier, we are able to keep precise inventory in stock and can access the numbers instantly, every day. Helps to be lean.”
We installed the system and trained the company’s employees in just three days. Now the company runs the tool logistics software, linked to a spiral-equipped vending machine and integrated into their current network. They now have complete visibility not only of what they are buying but also of what they use and where. Moreover, they are now able to better analyze their business, and business growth, with full reporting options covering inventory control and costs.
