Winzer Corporation Integrates Foxtrot Into Inventory Management System

EnableSoft client, Jim Cafferty, Senior Director of Marketing at Winzer Corporation based in Dallas, TX wanted to get a clear picture of the benefits provided by Foxtrot.  By slicing and dicing the historical operational data, he discovered an opportunity to save substantially on inventory costs.  It would require manually updating 165,000 records by year end.  The hard cost would be $24,000 along with substantial blood, sweat and tears of Winzer’s staff. By applying Foxtrot technology from EnableSoft to automate the manual process without error he was able to shave the update process down from hours to minutes thus further justifying his “Lean Sensei” title.  
   
Aside from the direct costs associated with the transactions, Foxtrot has also enabled them to make sweeping changes to their inventory management strategies.  As of April 1, 2010 they had reduced inventory by $230,000 on five separate items with $66,000 of that on one item alone. With over 27,000 item/warehouse combinations it would have been nearly impossible to make the necessary adjustments manually and most likely would never have been done.  Jim let us know that they are shedding about $10-12k per week and are still moving in the right direction. 
 
It’s obvious that Winzer Corporation is utilizing Foxtrot to its full capabilities because they sent us an ROI with 2 benefits – cost savings and increased efficiency.
 
And isn’t that exactly what we say it does?
