The Value of Technology
Envelopments has stayed a cut above the competition by understanding the value of technology. Envelopments used technology to carve a niche in their industry, and cut necessary corners in operational processes in order to provide additional value to their customers. With beginnings as a design studio, Envelopments experienced increased customer orders and quickly realized that their manual order taking was not efficient. In order to prevent stockouts, they were holding excess inventory, and lacked good data because their out of the box software did not have customized reporting. Envelopments required a solution that enabled them to better manage their data, their supply chain, and also provide them with access to information necessary to control their inventory and production costs.
