To exceed industry growth levels and provide world-class customer service,
we had to know where exactly our inventory was at all times. Ultriva Electronic
Kanban gave us that knowledge.

To get the most benefit from kanban, we needed a closed-loop solution that would
support a continuous-flow process, a solution that any of our suppliers could access
easily. Browser based Ultriva Electronic Kanban answered that need perfectly.

Hussmann is a cyclical business; therefore manual kanban systems have fallen short
in their ability to easily be resized to meet factory demand rates. With Ultriva
we have the ability for Hussmann to resize an individual part or the entire factory
with the touch of a button.

Ultriva was the only software that received the "oohs" and "aahs"
from our buyers and planners. For the first time, our buyers are not just
dealing with stock-outs and expediting orders, they now have the time to
track supplier performance and search out new suppliers.

The Ultriva Electronic Kanban system has enabled us to successfully apply desirable
lean techniques in the area of pull systems during the last 2 years. The tool enables
key closed loop communications with external and internal suppliers. The loops have
been quite successful in reducing inventory and eliminate stocks-outs in the areas
where demand is stable as well as where the orders are not accurate relative to actual requirements.
