Case Study:
Problem: A Firmatek Client was measuring once or twice a year. They were writing off about $3 million in inventory across their area.
Solution: The client started doing quarterly measurements with Firmatek. More importantly, they started using the insights to increase their business intelligence and applying the information to improve their operation.
Results: The client wrote off less than $175,000, making the area profitable for the first time in over ten years.
Key Learnings: There’s a difference between measurement and management. Frequent measurements help improve your inventory management, but it is important to apply the insights and make changes to your operation in order to improve profitability. When you do that, you can see impressive improvements in operational efficiencies and profitability.
