Press Release Summary: Thermo Fisher Reduces Inventory with Datacraft Solutions' Pull-Based Inventory Replenishment System
Press Release Body: 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." 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.
