Case Study: Evans Vanodine achieves 25% inventory and waste reduction with Infor System21 Aurora

Evans Vanodine reduces waste with Infor System21 Aurora

Evans Vanodine is a family-owned UK manufacturer of cleaning and hygiene chemicals, producing 23 million liters a year across 1,600 product lines for customers in over 70 countries. Its operations were stretched by highly customized formulations, seasonal peaks and long raw-material lead times, and a stock-led replenishment approach that left inventory levels either too high or too low and risked service and margin erosion.

To switch to a customer-led model the company implemented Infor System21 Aurora Demand Planning, integrated with its existing ERP, and added Indigo’s Real Time warehouse automation. The new forecasting and warehouse visibility cut finished goods and raw materials stock by 25%, improved order fulfilment and regulatory traceability, reduced waste, and enabled rapid response to demand surges (for example the tenfold sanitizer spike during the swine flu outbreak), delivering clear efficiency gains and ROI.
