Super-Sizing Profits and Customer Service

    A 350-location distributor of plumbing, pipe/valves/fittings, air-conditioning, electrical and industrial supplies does all data processing takes place at corporate headquarters. Executive management wanted to use the system to automatically increase prices -- without hiring anyone. We showed them how to do that by describing unique formulas and rules for "mining" data and determining when to raise the price for a customer and item, and how much to raise it.

    A 12-location distributor of motion-control equipment and supplies had made several acquisitions in a short period of time, which greatly increased the breadth and depth of their inventory. They could no longer effectively manage the inventory, but didn't want to hire any people; they wanted to use their system to do so. We showed them the most sophisticated and beneficial features of our method for increasing return on inventory investment and related customer service.

        A 70-location distributor of plumbing, HVAC and pipe/valves/fittings had a central distribution facility, but the CEO wondered if the company was stocking too much there and/or at the branches. We presented the integrated group of statistical formulas, probability tables and decision rules that we developed to precisely calculate inventory-management parameters and the quantities to buy. We did the same for a large, single-location of food to fast food restaurants.
