• From our customers perspective, we know what products they need for their developments. We know the quantities they need for their production and through supply chain, and most importantly, we know when they need it. But there’s more, we also know the lead times to get those products to them on the shelf.
• This is not only a nice to have this is becoming essential to actually keeping our customers running on a day-to-day basis.
• We can tap into that unique data, and we put this to use. We leverage the insights for our client’s teams in the field so they can start to have those conversations one by one.
• And that’s why we introduced our customer growth engine. Our customer growth engine helps our customers predict really accurately when their own customers require their products. We can vary the days when their customers actually need their products, which quantity and how and what the lead time would be for that product.
• We are actively working with these data driven insights, for our clients so that they can reach out to their customers and be there just when they need them. The reactions they are getting are so positive. Our clients are there just when customers need it, they love it, the reaction to NPS is going up tremendously, on our customer sites.
• For Salesforce, it really reduces waste. And we make Salesforce significantly more efficient because they are there when they need to be there for the customers.  
• if we know exactly what our customers want, when they want it, they can also move back into change the volumes.
• We also have developed a digital demand forecasting tool.  Our sourcing position is in the best shape ever. Because we know exactly which products need to be where, when. And obviously when we’re starting to optimize it,
• This will lower our customers working capital and it will increase our ability to bundle transportation having firstly great sustainability impact, but also huge cost impacts. And also puts WrxFlo’s customers in a much better position to manage our schools our transportation costs globally.

Bijur Delimon’s Digital Transformation Success Story

Bijur Delimon, a global manufacturing client with a facility in Ennis, Ireland, sought to enhance their operations further by improving process efficiency. They faced challenges with their existing Infor ERP system, including limited reporting capabilities, lack of visibility into real-time process performance, and difficulties in increasing factory capacity. In collaboration with WrxFlo, Bijur Delimon embarked on a journey of digital transformation to address these issues and unlock the full potential of their supply chain.

To meet Bijur Delimon’s requirements, WrxFlo implemented a range of modules through the supply chain. Each module was designed to optimise specific aspects of the operation, resulting in improved efficiency and effectiveness.

Some of the key outcomes achieved include:

• 40% capacity improvement.
• 99% reduction in sustainability practices.
• 20% reduction in cost per unit.
• 98% improvement in customer delivery.
• Winning new business contracts.
• Record-breaking revenues.
• Real-time visibility of all management metrics.
• Seamless implementation with no impact on factory operations.
• Fraction of the cost compared to implementing a new ERP system.
