Case Study
Cornerstone as a program has been hugely beneficial to our current business. It can be moulded to all client’s particular briefs whilst having excellent support services.
We use Cornerstone as a full package, this means the MRP element as well as the technical side and logistical side. Operationally having the one system to control our whole company has meant our efficiency and accuracy level within the business has been greatly increased. We have been able to reassign staff where we had mundane practices and have now had these process incorporated with in the system.
Cornerstone has also helped us over the years increase our stock accuracy level to above 97% due to the high level of accurate transactions now held within the system. Whilst giving us the ability to have full batch traceability and location traceability with in the system – this is especially important for our recall procedures.
As a system it has helped streamline our business and helped gain efficiency increases and cost savings.
