Case Studies

Losses turned into gains

Problem:

Our client is the world’s third largest manufacturer of construction equipment with revenues in the billions, producing over 300 types of vehicles in 22 plants worldwide.

Due to ever-increasing demand for production footprint, the decision was made to outsource inventory storage and management to a 3PL to free up space.

Our client was also suffering from poor inventory accuracy and had been forced to write off a 7-figure related financial loss.
