Case Study: Global Manufacturing Company achieves 35% reduction in inventory management effort with SS&C Blue Prism

A Global Manufacturing Company Reduces Inventory Management Effort by 35% with Intelligent Automation

Global Manufacturing Company, a century‑old HVAC manufacturer, faced an urgent regulatory challenge when the U.S. Department of Energy required phasing out older, less efficient inventory across engineering, manufacturing, finance and procurement. The manual effort—more than 20 employees reviewing distributor accounts and managing updates for over 10,000 items—was time‑consuming and risked inventory becoming unsellable, so the company turned to SS&C Blue Prism and its digital workforce to streamline the transition.

Working with EY, the company implemented SS&C Blue Prism digital workers and a central data repository to automate inventory checks, ERP transactions, order migrations, and customer notifications, with self‑service options for distributors. The automation reduced employee effort by 35%, improved visibility into the phase‑out process, sped stock rotation to meet regulations faster, and avoided hiring additional staff while freeing employees to focus on customer engagement and product innovation.
