“We are not a large multinational company, so if I was going to make an investment in this, I wanted not only state of the art SMI functionality but that it should be compliant with GCI-GUSI and furthermore I wanted a partner with proven experience to advise me on the change process – in PipeChain I found everything I was looking for”.

"Our ambition is to avoid sub-optimization and get a better supply chain in total terms. In some cases it can mean increasing stock levels in one location in order to lower stock in another, but it is the total cost that is important. The project with PipeChain has led to a reduction of the total stock in our Supply Chain; at the same time we have retained or improved our service levels towards our customers. We are convinced that improvements will continue when we take full advantage of the new availability of information that PipeChain also brings to our capacity and purchase planning."

"PipeChain gives me the possibility to see, in real time, exactly what and how much each customer needs. In this way I can prioritise available capacity correctly and ensure that each customer gets the correct deliveries without complicated administration. We help our customers to keep their stock levels down while using our own available capacity in the best way and avoid building up our own stocks."

"When we started the project the goal was to reduce inventory and shorten leadtimes as well as increase service levels. Today we can say that the entire investment has paid off in less than a year, our own time included. We have already lowered our stock by 4-5 coverdays, which corresponds to a 50% reduction, and still the service level has increased. We have created a network, where we and our suppliers collaborate to achieve a common goal: a fast and controlled flow of products that largely decreases the need for stockkeeping."

"Now we have full control in real-time over both orders and bottle-necks as well as service levels. We can in a simple way identify our daily problems and thus make sure that we work with the right tasks. Despite large variations in delivery volumes we can keep an even production pace and we can give immediate answers about our capacity to deliver. PipeChain is a system that supports us in our process improvements and is very versatile."
