Interface software views, confirms orders
Companion supplier interface tool, for Datacraft's Signum kanban software, enables users to view and confirm orders as well as anticipate and prepare for upcoming demand spikes.
Digital Kanban model offers global visibility
Digital kanban aligns inventory levels with actual usage; a signal is sent to produce and deliver a new shipment when material is used and bring real visibility to suppliers and buyers.
As a proud Gold Level sponsor of the AME Conference, Datacraft Solutions CEO, Stephen Parker, suggests that, "Attendees of the AME Conference are aligned with the lean initiatives, manufacturing excellences, and core principles of a demand driven supply chain network".
"AME members and participants are often looking for ways to increase efficiencies in their supply chain which make them ideally suited to evaluate and understand the efficacy and cost benefits of the progressive technology solutions offered by Datacraft Solutions".
Datacraft Solutions' unique solution will be demonstrated at the AME conference and involves three key differences in Digital Kanban:.
* All aspects solutions are hosted on Datacraft Solutions' servers, and backed by Datacraft Solutions infrastructure.
* Datacraft Solutions supports their replenishment supply chain digital kanban solutions.
There is no need to pay administrators to maintain the software and/or hardware.
* Datacraft Solutions provides the solutions at low, fixed monthly costs.
Companies pay only for what is needed and used, without any hidden costs - and the cost of ownership is easy to calculate and contain.
Datacraft Solutions uses the on-demand delivery model because many of the kanban solutions used by Fortune 100 and 500 companies are well outside the budget of small to mid-sized companies.
Datacraft Solutions provides solutions that allow even the smallest companies to remain competitive, without having to incur costly IT expenses.
Sharing knowledge is also a key new distinction in the replenishment supply chain digital kanban world; as the solutions continue to spread throughout the manufacturing industry, Datacraft Solutions draws upon the insights and experiences of their client base to enhance the functionality of their product offerings.
Datacraft Solutions delivers a revolutionary digital kanban process of automation solutions to lean manufacturers through a secure Internet gateway, eliminating the need to install and maintain a complex IT infrastructure.
The company has experienced significant growth in the past twelve months by eliminating complicated, expensive, time-intensive software implementations as well as extensive training regiments and the need for internal support.
The Datacraft Solutions' replenishment supply chain digital kanban lean system allows customers access and fully utilise powerful lean benefits immediately for a low, predictable monthly fee.
Services are scalable so manufacturers can design an appropriate digital kanban solution.
