Challenges:

• 5+ inconsistent part numbering schemes, 18% data duplication and misclassification rate
• Delayed data syncs caused 3–5 day lead time issues, 12% stock discrepancies from manual updates
• Limited visibility led to 20% excess inventory, 10–15 hours/week spent gathering inventory data
• Regional sourcing limited to 3 countries, 10% higher material cost due to lack of global sourcing solution
• Manual costing updates caused 5–7% margin misreporting, Inaccurate landed cost estimations
• 20% engineering change delays due to poor integration, 3–4 days average delay in BOM updates
• 35% of process steps tracked manually, Missed handoffs in 1

Action:

• One standard product/part numbering scheme
• Tighter integration with CM’s and Contract Warehouses
• Improved ability to view online inventory availability across multiple warehouses
• Improved ability to purchase on a global basis
• Improved product costing capabilities
• Seamless integration with Agile and the ERP
• Standard workflow with automated notifications
• Standard practices and reporting will be implemented globally with localization, as required

Results :

• 100% unified part numbering, Reduced duplication to <2%
• Real-time integration achieved, Inventory discrepancy reduced by 85%
• 100% multi-warehouse visibility, Inventory carrying cost reduced by 25%
• Global sourcing from 15+ countries, Material cost reduced by 8–12%
• Automated costing with >95% accuracy, Margin variance reduced to <1%
• BOM and ECN updates reflected in real-time, Change cycle time reduced by 60%

Client Testimonial

“Implementing a unified part numbering system and real-time integration transformed our operations. We reduced inventory discrepancies, cut material costs, and now have complete visibility across global warehouses. It’s a game-changer for our supply chain efficiency and cost control.”
