The Challenge

Managing inventory effectively requires clear visibility into both available product and allocated inventory.

Prior to implementing Kahler Automation, gaining this level of insight was more difficult, making it challenging to plan inventory levels and ensure the right products were on hand when needed.

To improve planning and operational efficiency, New Century FS needed a solution that could connect inventory data with active orders and provide better real-time visibility.

Why Kahler Automation

New Century FS selected Kahler Automation for its ability to provide a more integrated and user-focused system.

Kahler’s approach to ongoing software development — incorporating customer feedback into updates — as well as its strong training and support resources, made it a valuable partner for improving long-term operations.

The Results

With Kahler Automation in place, New Century FS now has greater visibility into inventory and how it is allocated across orders.

The system links inventory directly to tickets, allowing the team to clearly see what product is available and what has already been committed. This insight makes it easier to plan inventory levels and ensure the right materials are available when needed.

In addition to improved inventory management, the Kahler system continues to evolve based on user feedback, helping the operation stay aligned with changing needs.

Training and Support

Kahler Automation has also provided strong onboarding and ongoing support.

From initial training to day-to-day assistance, the Kahler team is available to help resolve questions and ensure the system is used effectively. This level of support has made the transition from previous software smoother and more successful.
