Case Study: Kaba Ilco Corp. achieves scalable supply chain sustainability and $67,200 annual savings with Assent

Kaba Ilco Unlocking Scalable Supply Chain Sustainability

Kaba Ilco Corp., the largest key blank manufacturer in the U.S., faced growing regulatory pressures across REACH, RoHS, and California’s Proposition 65 that required evaluating substance data across its entire product line. Needing to move from paper records to a scalable digital process but unable to hire and train temporary teams annually, Kaba Ilco Corp. selected Assent and its Supply Chain Sustainability Platform to manage expanding compliance obligations.

Assent implemented its Supply Chain Sustainability Platform to automate data collection, provide regulatory expertise and supplier education, and give Kaba Ilco deeper visibility into parts and substances. The solution let Kaba Ilco reallocate resources to product development, generated estimated annual overhead savings of $67,200 and reduced annual labor expenses by $33,600, and even prompted parent company Dormakaba to adopt Assent across other business units.
