Case Study: Scientific Instruments and Laboratory Equipment Manufacturer clears 18-month backlog with Fictiv

Medical Device Manufacturer Uses Fictiv to Clear 18-month Backlog in 4 Months

Scientific Instruments and Laboratory Equipment Manufacturer, a MedTech company, faced a major post-pandemic demand spike that pushed its supply chain beyond capacity. With an 18-month backlog of about 200,000 parts, the company struggled to meet customer demand using its in-house manufacturing and existing outsourced suppliers. Fictiv’s production manufacturing services, including CNC, sheet metal, 3D printing, and injection molding, were brought in to help solve the bottleneck.

Fictiv implemented a scalable digital manufacturing and supply chain solution with real-time visibility, managed services, quality support, and global logistics. As a result, the company cleared the 200,000-part backlog in 4 months instead of 18, realized about $5.7M in backlog value, and reduced overall production costs by 29%. The faster turnaround also helped unlock $2M in gross revenue and improve cash flow and customer retention.
