Case Study: Wilbur Curtis achieves real-time supply-chain visibility and on-time deliveries with riskmethods

Wilbur Curtis - Customer Case Study

Wilbur Curtis Company, Inc., a longtime manufacturer of commercial coffee and beverage equipment, struggled to manage hundreds of suppliers and was frequently blindsided by delayed shipments and late notifications. As a member of the group purchasing organization Prime Advantage, Wilbur Curtis discovered the risk management software provider riskmethods at a Prime Advantage conference and pursued a solution to improve supplier visibility and on-time deliveries.

Prime Advantage connected Wilbur Curtis with riskmethods, which implemented a 90-day pilot of its real-time risk-detection and alerting platform; after the trial Wilbur Curtis signed a two-year agreement. The riskmethods solution delivered early warnings (including typhoon alerts), increased supply-chain visibility, preserved on-time deliveries, and produced measurable cost savings, demonstrating Prime Advantage’s value in sourcing effective partners.
