Case Study: Lewis Chemical Company boosts inventory accuracy and operational efficiency with Datacor MES and WMS

Lewis Chemical Company boosts inventory accuracy above 98% with Datacor

Lewis Chemical Company, an employee-owned surfactants manufacturer, faced significant challenges with inventory management and operational inefficiencies across its large warehouse and production facilities. To address this, they turned to their existing vendor, Datacor, to implement its new Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Warehouse Management System (WMS).

Datacor implemented its integrated MES and WMS, which digitized and automated the company's paper-based processes. The solution provided real-time inventory tracking, barcode scanning, and seamless ERP integration. The results were transformative: inventory accuracy improved from approximately 89% to over 98%, which freed up cash flow by reducing necessary stock levels. Lewis Chemical also reported major gains in operational efficiency, including less time spent searching for materials and a decreased risk of quality errors.
