Case Study: Ditch Witch boosts gross profit and streamlines product mix with Emcien

Drilling into Complex Data Enables Data-Driven Decisions and Yields Big Profits

Ditch Witch, a long-established U.S. manufacturer of underground construction equipment based in Perry, Oklahoma, faced runaway product complexity: thousands of optional configurations had been added over time, causing “spec creep,” longer customer lead times, poor forecasting, and inventory imbalances across the plant, dealers, and sales teams. The company needed a deliberate way to see into siloed data and understand true customer demand down to the parts level.

Ditch Witch implemented Emcien’s automatic pattern-detection platform to analyze data across silos in real time, identify buying patterns, and optimize the product mix. The solution guided order planning and helped standardize the core offering, resulting in improved parts mix and inventory planning, consolidated product lines, better decision-making across the organization, and increased gross profit.
