Press Release Summary: Datacraft Solutions' Replenishment Solution Succeeds in the
ETO Environment

Press Release Body: Seamless business solution is required to request for quotes,
vendor quotes, project planning, requisition approval, and processing into purchase
order generation. There needs to be support of standard purchase orders, blanket
orders and releases and subcontract purchase orders, manage purchasing commitments
by project and the two-way or three-way match with accounts payable. According to
Stephen Parker, CEO of North Carolina-based Datacraft Solutions, "The reduction of
waste associated with rarely used items in inventory as well as allowing
distributors to focus on core competencies and production efforts is vital. No time
should be wasted sourcing and procuring infrequently used items. There are very few
digital kanban systems, and the old kanban card system has severe restrictions when
there is an external supplier in the supply chain. Digital kanban re-orders based
only on actual consumption are electronically communicated during each phase of
replenishment."

Project-focused manufacturers have unique needs that frequently surpass
out-of-the-box capabilities of generic software packages. The ability to find highly
customizable interfaces while providing a system of record for everything
project-related; including a complete view of the business, is rare.



In the current issue of Industry 2.0 magazine, leading manufacturing journalist,
Thomas R. Cutler, describes the value of digital kanban and the demand driven supply
chain in the ETO (engineer-to-order) environment. Cutler is a regular contributor
to Industry 2.0 and has a monthly column, titled Cutler Speaks.
