By: PR Artistry The-Mad-Group sought to improve its inventory management operations in a bid to meet the increasingly complex demands of customers with diverse buying patterns. In addition, an ever-expanding product portfolio of over 1000 items, frequently sourced from different factories around the world with lead times varying from 90 to 135 days, prompted The-Mad-Group to find a more efficient way to plan and optimise its inventory. It was looking for a new solution to link easily and cost-efficiently with the organisation’ After seeing a demonstration of AGR Inventory Optimiser at a NAV customer event, The-Mad-Group took the decision to purchase the system. David Elliott, Managing Director of The-Mad-Group, commented, “From the outset I was impressed by the level of automation the technology could deliver. It was very graphical and could provide the dynamic data we needed in a single integrated solution. AGR offered an easy-to-use option that was cost-efficient and blended well with our existing ERP environment. It came highly recommended by our Microsoft partner and encouraged by the success stories of other AGR users, we believed that AGR Inventory Optimiser fitted our requirements and was the perfect solution for taking our business forward in the future.” With the help of AGR’s consultancy team, it took The-Mad-Group just ten days to implement the new solution and link it seamlessly with the company’s existing Microsoft Dynamics NAV platform. The Managing Director and Senior Buyer of The-Mad-Group are the primary users of AGR Inventory Optimiser with the sales force referring to the system before committing to large orders that might negatively impact other regular customers. AGR’s graphical interface is a huge benefit for The-Mad-Group. At a glance, users have complete clarity of what stock is available saving time and boosting customer loyalty as a result of accurate delivery information.
