Major Medical Device Manufacturer
For more than 80 years, the name of this firm has been synonymous with high-quality, innovative medical devices. Today they develop, manufacture, export, import, market, distribute and sell a diverse portfolio of medical devices, supplies and accessories that generates $280 million in annual sales.
As their annual sales continued to grow steadily, this major medical device manufacturer found an urgent need for a sophisticated system to support consisting and configurable pricing, inventory management, workflow approval chains, and business reporting. The solution needed to seamlessly integrate with their existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. After an extensive search, they found WinMill Software to be the perfect company to create this custom solution.
Working closely with a core team of sales and management staff, WinMill designed and built a robust and comprehensive ASP.NET Application (with a powerful SQL Server database) to address the company’s intricate and complex needs. While adhering to an aggressive and rigorous schedule, WinMill was able to meet the required timeline and deliver a stable and full-featured system in just six months.
The system is unique in that it combines functionality that would normally require multiple off-the-shelf products, including:
- A customized pricing strategy for the company’s entire product line;
- A highly visible chain-of-command approval process;
- A product consignment process for tracking, viewing, and updating inventory levels;
- A wide-range of customizable reports that provides the teams with on-demand, up-to-date data.
The system has been an enormous success, not only because of the functionality it provides, but because of its return on investment. The alternative of purchasing and integrating several off-the-shelf products, plus the staff required to manage such systems, would have been cost prohibitive.
Today, the system is an integral part of the firm’s daily business process. It boasts over 100 active users that comprise of the company’s sales force, service team, product managers, marketing team, home office administrators and executives. With the huge success of this system in their North American offices, the firm is now looking to deploy the application to their operations around the world.
