Measurable benefits
Three years ago, Johnson was promoted to manage Fortiline’s support system, where he has taken a very active role in training staff to use the KCS solution even more effectively, and exploring ways to leverage it further. The system is essential for every area of their operations, including inventory, financials, and even sales commissions.
“Probably the most obvious benefit we see is in inventory management,” Johnson described. “It gives us a much better way to measure and track our inventory, and to make smarter decisions for future purchasing. It provides us with detailed historical data, recommended order reports, line buys to replenish and forecasting the right inventory quantities to maintain. It provides us with measurements for individual branches to make sure they’re in line with sales and product coming in. It’s a great tool for making quicker, more accurate purchasing choices, and really is the key to our inventory management.”
