Kanbans as a Service
Use our wireless barcode tags to establish smart kanbans to drive your purchasing, manufacturing, or sales. Bypass the need for accurate inventory by triggering orders at the point of use. Our system is plug and play. There is no need for new software or system integration.
You can also combine our wireless tags with our purchasing, inventory optimization, or customer order entry managed services to provide a cost-effective way to expand your team and boost your capabilities.
Purchasing Services
We issue purchase orders in your system for items that you source, negotiate pricing for, and then assign to us to sustain. Let us maintain and optimize your material planning and purchasing as your outsourced buyer/planner so you can focus on strategic objectives.
We allow you to expand your team often for 50% of the cost while benefiting from our specialized expertise and always-on execution. Our transactional fee structure allows purchasing to be a variable cost rather than fixed.
Inventory Optimization
Inventory reductions of 20% to 60% are typical for us. We optimize inventory levels and execute purchasing to ensure that your desired service levels are met. This is done at the part number level taking into account detailed variations in supplier performance and customer demand.
We can do this either once or on a recurring basis to keep you firmly tied to the pulse of your market.
Supply Chain Consulting
