Press Release Summary: Digital Kanban System by Datacraft Solutions Replaces Old

Press Release Body: Signum is really a relatively simple, but high tech solution,

client can be in position to achieve almost instant ROI through efficient

pull-based usage from their customers. Signum has an array of features and
functions that can be used in an assortment of combinations that lead to very
creative application to the particular challenges that face our customers who

Ron Van Nostrand, CPIM, MBA, is the Services Project Manager for Datacraft
Solutions. According to Van Nostrand, "Companies with lean initiatives move from
card kanban to e-kanban and the impact on their enterprise is dramatic." Van
Nostrand addresses the specific benefits of moving to an electronic or digital
kanban environment.

. Signum automates the administration and execution of electronic replenishment to
reduce overhead costs for key operations personnel and to improve supply chain
collaboration across a client's supply network
. Signum enable suppliers to gain visibility to our client on-hand inventory and
consumption of their products which enables them to accurately anticipate the
requirements of our clients (key to improving supplier on-time delivery performance
and order fill rates)
. In some cases, clients have realized reductions in inventory and the occurrence of
inventory stock-outs far exceeding their wildest hopes
. Clients have used the additional purchasing resource time freed up by Signum to
embark on strategic purchasing initiatives including formal supplier development
programs
