Case Study: Graco Supply Company achieves major inventory cost savings and reduced IT effort with LeanDNA

Graco Supply Company - Customer Case Study

Graco Supply Company, a distributor of aerospace chemicals and consumables, faced limited visibility into inventory and purchasing—relying on ERP reports and Crystal/SSRS outputs that missed errors until it was too late, causing duplicate orders and excess stock. Graco engaged LeanDNA and its inventory/shortage management tool, which offers pre-built ERP integrations and actionable recommendations to surface problems and improve purchasing decisions.

LeanDNA implemented a straightforward integration with minimal IT effort (about 8–10 hours of meetings plus a few days of schema work and a few hours from a database analyst), delivering quick, professional support and eliminating the need for a large inventory cube/data-warehouse project. As a result, LeanDNA helped Graco catch human errors, expose double-entered POs and misplaced inventory, and saved the company “tens of thousands of dollars” in just a few months while improving inventory and purchasing management.
