Client Success Stories
Real-world examples of how our software solutions deliver measurable results for UK manufacturers and distributors.
Reducing Waste by 40% in Food Production
The Challenge
A leading UK food manufacturer was struggling with excessive waste from spoilage and overproduction. Their manual production planning process took 3-4 hours daily and couldn't account for shelf life constraints, resulting in:
- High levels of expired finished goods (8-12% of production)
- Frequent stockouts of popular SKUs due to poor demand forecasting
- Inefficient changeovers costing £15K+ per week in downtime
- Poor visibility into production constraints and capacity
- Sales and operations working from different plans
Our Solution
We implemented an integrated production planning and S&OP solution that:
- Automated production scheduling with shelf life optimisation
- Integrated demand forecasts from their ERP system
- Optimised batch sizes based on customer orders and shelf life
- Minimised changeovers through intelligent sequencing
- Created a single, aligned plan across sales and operations
- Provided real-time visibility into capacity and constraints
The Results
Within 6 months of implementation, the manufacturer saw dramatic improvements:
"The impact has been transformational. We've cut waste nearly in half, our lines are running more efficiently, and our planners can focus on improvement instead of firefighting. The system paid for itself in 6 months."
30% Reduction in Delivery Costs
The Challenge
A regional distributor with 35 vehicles was planning routes manually using maps and experience. This resulted in:
- 2-3 hours daily spent on route planning by dispatchers
- Suboptimal routes with excessive mileage and fuel costs
- Inconsistent on-time delivery performance (82%)
- Driver frustration from late finishes and inefficient routes
- Inability to handle growth without adding vehicles
- Poor customer visibility into delivery status
Our Solution
We implemented an intelligent route optimisation system that:
- Automatically generates optimal routes in minutes
- Considers delivery time windows, vehicle capacity, and traffic
- Balances workload across drivers fairly
- Provides mobile apps for drivers with turn-by-turn navigation
- Enables real-time tracking and proactive customer updates
- Allows dynamic re-optimisation when things change
The Results
The distributor achieved significant improvements within the first 3 months:
"Route optimisation has been a game-changer. We're handling 25% more deliveries with the same fleet, drivers are happier because they finish on time, and customers love the real-time tracking. Best investment we've made."
ISO 15189 Accreditation with Digital Pathology LIMS
The Challenge
Pathognomics, a diagnostic pathology laboratory, needed a comprehensive LIMS that could:
- Integrate with Hamamatsu's flagship digital pathology slide scanner
- Provide secure 24/7 access for pathologists worldwide
- Support ISO 15189 accreditation requirements
- Manage reagents, training records, and documentation
- Ensure complete traceability for diagnostic work
- Replace multiple disconnected systems with one integrated platform
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive digital pathology LIMS system that provides:
- Integration with Hamamatsu digital slide scanning technology
- High-resolution image viewing from anywhere in the world
- Secure reporting system for diagnostic work
- Reagent management with expiry tracking and safety documentation
- Training monitoring and matrix view of staff competencies
- Document control system with version history
- Complete audit trail for ISO 15189 compliance
The Results
The integrated LIMS system enabled Pathognomics to achieve ISO 15189 accreditation and deliver world-class diagnostic services:
