Case Study: Ellsworth Adhesives achieves 20–30% customer growth and eliminates inventory shortages with Clear Spider

Ellsworth Adhesives - Customer Case Study

Ellsworth Adhesives, headquartered in Germantown, Wisconsin with facilities in 14 countries, supplies chemical and adhesive products to industries from aerospace to medical. Faced with human error, high inventory labor costs, the need for easy deployment and ERP integration, Ellsworth determined a manual system would not scale and partnered with Clear Spider to implement an automated inventory management solution including vendor-managed inventory (VMI), lot tracking and an online ordering portal.

Clear Spider deployed VMI, lot controls, ERP integration, online ordering and inventory tracking so customers can see stock levels, order online and receive automated replenishment while Ellsworth can manage inventories centrally. The Clear Spider solution eliminated stock-outs, improved inventory efficiency and customer relationships, reduced labor on inventory tasks and grew Ellsworth’s customer base by 20–30%.
