Business Development Bank of Canada - Customer Case Study

The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) is a Crown corporation that supports Canadian small and medium-sized businesses. Facing challenges around automated order tracking, electronic inventory management, automatic reporting and outbound purchase order creation for its internal print department, BDC selected Clear Spider for its flexible yet robust inventory management software.

Clear Spider developed a tailored system that streamlined BDC’s inventory process from order request through purchase order creation and shipment, integrating with BDC’s cost-center/PeopleSoft program and adding receiving/transfer functions, barcoding, cycle counts, low-stock email alerts and a secure custom web portal for employee ordering. The Clear Spider solution delivered product-level tracking, comprehensive inventory reports, a faster order and fulfillment workflow, reduced stockouts and more accurate inventory logs.
