Case Study: Toyota Industries Corporation achieves automated inventory control and cost reduction with Syncron

Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) uses Syncron Inventory to shift to centrally controlled ERP system

Toyota Industries Corporation, a major Toyota Group manufacturer of automobiles, material handling equipment and textile machinery, faced unsustainable manual order calculations and KPI reporting in Excel. The company needed an ERP replacement and a third‑party system for its new material handling equipment sales organization in Brazil to improve inventory control and after‑sales spare parts management, and implemented Syncron to address these challenges.

Syncron delivered a cloud‑based inventory solution with automated stock‑level functionality and specialized spare‑parts controls, allowing Toyota Industries Corporation to set and monitor stock levels more easily and at low implementation cost. A pilot in Brazil produced measurable improvements — better service‑level visibility and reductions in stock and costs — and Toyota Industries Corporation is preparing to roll out Syncron across its sales companies to standardize inventory control globally.
