Press Release Summary = Curator Supplier Interface Tool Provide Free of Charge to
Suppliers

Press Release Body = Datacraft Solutions, Inc. (www.datacraftsolutions.com) flagship
digital kanban automation solution, Signum, streamlines replenishment and enables
collaborative communication throughout the supply chain. Curator is Signum\'s
companion supplier interface tool and is provided free of charge to client\'s
suppliers. It enables them to view and confirm orders as well as anticipate and
prepare for upcoming demand spikes.

Signum integrates inventory barcode scanners with an easy-to-use desktop interface.
Manufacturers can automatically issue replenishment signals to suppliers at the
point of use. Built-in monitoring, customizable alerts and control features ensure
that inventory levels are properly maintained. According to Matthew Marotta,
founder of Datacraft Solutions, “The result is a dramatic increase in visibility and
control, adding up to a significant reduction in the number of required
replenishment transactions.”

Curator completes the path to a more truly integrated, streamlined, responsive
supply chain by providing increased visibility of process information. Whenever a
supplier confirms, denies or ships an order, Signum automatically updates inventory
and order status. The needs of a manufacturing operation are always visible, and
always up-to-date.

According to Marotta, “As digital kanban solutions continue to spread throughout the
manufacturing industry we are able to draw on the insights and experiences of our
clients to enhance the functionality of offerings. We are, in effect, applying the
lessons of continuous improvement to our own platform, optimizing Signum and Curator
to make Digital Kanban implementation more efficient and effective.”


Digital kanban aligns inventory levels with actual consumption; a signal is sent to
produce and deliver a new shipment when material is consumed. These signals are
tracked through the replenishment cycle and bring extraordinary visibility to
suppliers and buyers. Working seamlessly with existing visual board systems,
Datacraft Solutions’ Digital Kanban solution allows individual cells or entire
supply chains to realize an immediate and dramatic return from an extremely small
process automation investment, by vastly reducing the management time and
information gathering required to monitor, update and transmit card-based
replenishment needs.
