An American chemical and synthetic biotechnology company required the support of RGIS. The company was founded in 2003, and is focused on developing sustainable ingredients for the Health, Wellness, Beauty and Fragrance markets. It uses renewable carbon sources, coming from plants such as sugarcane. The company has operations in the United States and Brazil.
THE CHALLENGE
The biotechnology company needed to take control of stock in the warehouse. It was unorganised with no system in place to help them to identify stock, find the location of the stock or keep track of quantities of stock.
- The company required a solution to create a new reliable database, with updated information on all stock and locations, so required RGIS to provide the following:
- Complete a physical inventory count of the warehouse
- Provide new and accurate inventory database of materials, the location and identification
Why RGIS?
