Thermo Fisher Experiences Immediate ROI from Datacraft Solutions Pull-Based Inventory Replenishment

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 06, 2008 – Since using Datacraft Solutions’ Signum inventory replenishment system, Thermo Fisher Scientific reduced the inventory put on the system by 10% which yielded significant savings.  Suppliers visited the Thermo Fisher facility to increase the pricing because of the labor intensive process of receiving and working with their orders.  After executives demonstrated and explained the impacts that resulted from the Signum system, the company decided not to increase their pricing.

According to Datacraft Solutions’ CEO Stephen Parker, “The kind of rapid return-on-investment experienced by Thermo Fisher is a frequent occurrence for our clients.  We like to refer to it as instant ROI...this technology immediately impacts the bottom-line.”
