关于客户
Established in 1996, Steps To Literacy is an educational resource catalog company that provides an array of both exclusively developed and vendor cooperative educational products. Steps To Literacy’s nationally recognized literacy consultants handpick custom solutions to meet the needs of classrooms in hundreds of school districts. They pride themselves on offering 26,000 products to a wide range of school districts, from small ones to the largest school district in the country, the New York City Board of Education. Their educational materials are designed to help teachers instill a passion for learning in students of all ages.
挑战
In 2009, Steps To Literacy, an educational resource catalog company, faced many logistical challenges. They serve schools and teachers across the country, but their inventory management system couldn’t ship or order products fast enough to keep up with demand. With warehouses and offices located in Bridgewater, New Jersey, Steps To Literacy manufactures exclusive products and creates specialty book and classroom resource collections for elementary schools. They offer custom products and solutions to their customers to meet specific classroom and school district needs. Because of their focus on customization, Steps To Literacy uses more than 7,000 bill of materials configurations. The continued growth of this company required an inventory management system that could handle such a vast enterprise.
解决方案
Steps To Literacy found the right solution in Fishbowl Manufacturing, a combination of inventory management and manufacturing software. Fishbowl gave Steps To Literacy all the inventory management features they needed without having to purchase a high-end solution that would have unnecessary features and be more expensive to set up and maintain. The inventory management system Steps To Literacy used prior to Fishbowl did not allow for an easily managed way to verify if they had enough parts in stock to complete work orders. “With Fishbowl, our inventory demands are known as soon as we issue a sales order,” said Michael R. Lloyd, the Operations Manager who is in charge of running Steps To Literacy’s inventory management system. “This alone allows us to see what parts need to be ordered 3-4 days earlier than with [our previous system].”

  • Steps To Literacy works with many of the largest school districts in the United States, including the New York City Board of Education, Houston Independent School District, Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia, and Wake County, North Carolina. As they continue to grow, their inventory needs will also increase. And Fishbowl Manufacturing will be up to the task, making sure orders are filled, products are restocked, and production lines run smoothly.
数量效益

  • Been able to ship orders out five days earlier on average and almost two weeks earlier during their busy season.
  • Increased cash flow, which has allowed them to do more creative things in their business.
