Case Study: Marlen reduces inventory and improves turns with LeanDNA

Jim Woods & Brad Claycamp Empower Buyers and Reduce Inventory at Duravant

Marlen, a Duravant operating company, was struggling with disparate ERP systems, static reporting, and inefficient inventory management that left them with inventory turns below three times per year. The company needed a better way to give buyers timely, reliable data so they could make smarter purchasing decisions and improve control over inventory.

LeanDNA implemented a user-friendly, real-time inventory management solution that gave Marlen buyers clear recommendations, drill-down reporting, and greater confidence in their decisions. In just 3.5 months, Marlen reduced total inventory value by 10.3% while increasing turns without hurting raw material availability or customer delivery rates, demonstrating measurable supply chain improvement with LeanDNA.
