C-A-T® Resources moves to zero material shortages, reduces stockholding with SYSPRO 8
Customer Profile
C-A-T® Resources manufactures tourniquets for use in combat and crises. The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T®) completely stops blood flow in traumatic injuries with severe bleeding. C-A-T® tourniquets are used by soldiers and paramedics as well as first aid for climbers and extreme sportsmen.
The Business Challenge
C-A-T® Resources has grown significantly over the past 15 years, and its existing ERP system could no longer meet its needs. The company experienced challenges in areas of its operation such as inventory tracking, accessing accurate, up-to-date information, and a lack of agility to meet evolving market demands.
The Solution
From an initial longlist of eight ERP solutions, C-A-T® Resources ultimately selected SYSPRO for its flexibility, powerful inventory management capability, and ability to provide a comprehensive end-to-end view of the business.
The Outcome
The implementation of SYSPRO has enabled C-A-T® Resources to run its manufacturing operations at optimal levels. High-level benefits include the ability to quickly accommodate different types of work in line with changing market requirements, enhanced inventory and accounting visibility, and a more detailed understanding of operator efficiencies and performance
“We have gone from multiple material shortages to zero. It’s easy to see when
stock is running out, and we have ample time to react. Previously, we often had
to do last-minute changeovers, whereas now we have clear visibility into which
raw materials are running low.”
– Michael Casella, General Manager, C-A-T® Resources.
