Syncron Inventory has had a very big impact on our business. We have been able to keep very high availability throughout the years, and our customers are very, very happy.
Since we started using Syncron Inventory, we have definitely increased our availability in the local warehouses, and we have reduced obsolete inventory.
The experience in Syncron Inventory is very user-friendly. It’s easy to navigate and to find what you’re looking for. And the KPIs and the graphics in Syncron are very easy to understand as well.
If we can link our entire supply chain across the different business areas in one system, that will also bring a higher degree of availability to our customers. This is a journey we’re looking forward to embarking on in the coming years.
