Efficiency

Press Release Body = Signum is the flagship digital kanban automation replenishment
supply chain solution from Datacraft Solutions (www.datacraftsolutions.com), which
streamlines replenishment and enables collaborative communication throughout the
supply chain. Curator is Signum\'s companion supplier interface tool, provided free
of charge to client\'s suppliers. It enables them to view and confirm orders as well
as anticipate and prepare for upcoming demand spikes.

Curator completes the path to a more truly integrated, streamlined, responsive
supply chain by providing increased visibility of process information. Whenever a
supplier confirms, denies or ships an order, Signum automatically updates inventory
and order status. The needs of a manufacturing operation are always visible, and
always up-to-date.

Signum integrates inventory barcode scanners with an easy-to-use desktop interface.
Manufacturers can automatically issue replenishment signals to suppliers at the
point of use. Built-in monitoring, customizable alerts and control features ensure
that inventory levels are properly maintained. According to Stephen Parker,
chairman of Datacraft Solutions, "The result is a dramatic increase in visibility
and control, adding up to a significant reduction in the number of required
replenishment transactions."


According to Parker "As digital kanban solutions continue to spread throughout the
manufacturing industry we are able to draw on the insights and experiences of our
clients to enhance the functionality of offerings. We are, in effect, applying the
lessons of continuous improvement to our own platform, optimizing Signum and Curator
to make Digital Kanban implementation more efficient and effective. This helps to
define an intelligent supply chain solution."


Digital kanban aligns inventory levels with actual consumption; a signal is sent to
produce and deliver a new shipment when material is consumed. These signals are
tracked through the replenishment cycle and bring extraordinary visibility to
suppliers and buyers. Working seamlessly with existing visual board systems,
Datacraft Solutions' replenishment supply chain solution allows individual cells or
entire supply chains to realize an immediate and dramatic return from an extremely
small process automation investment, by vastly reducing the management time and
information gathering required to monitor, update and transmit card-based
replenishment needs.
