Monday, July 21, 2008

Network infrastructure provider SonicWALL has selected InSync Software’s Edgeware platform and Asset Tracking Solution to create a visible inventory system as well as provide an indisputable performance metric for its suppliers.

SonicWALL will use the InSync system to improve in-transit times, lead times, lower inventory levels and manage the performance of devices provided by other suppliers throughout an extended supply chain. Additionally, SonicWALL required the ability to integrate item-level processes information from its suppliers into its own enterprise software.


“We chose InSync Software for its ability to provide a single dashboard view of all inventory locations,” says Atul Dhablania, vice president of operations for SonicWALL. “InSync’s solution has delivered this real-time visibility and has additionally allowed us to better manage our ODMs [Original Device Manufacturers] by providing us with indisputable performance metrics.” [end]
