Please describe best market practices and key initiatives to deliver continuous improvement and cost optimization

SDI is focused on continuous improvement, not only for our customers but internally to take out as much of the supply chain costs as possible. Our efforts over the last few years include investing in an utterly customized system designed to provide exceptional functionality specific to optimizing the complexities of the MRO supply chain. Allowing our clients to leverage the game changing potential of industry 4.0, ZEUS is the purpose-built technology and MRO software platform that offers you supreme power over your supply chain. 

DigitalBriefcase_1080x1080-2The ZEUS digital supply chain platform creates critical transparency to anticipate demand, respond quickly to disruptions, and better identify savings (and process improvement) opportunities. AI-automated ZEUS includes modules for Advanced Data Analytics, eProcurement and Mobile Apps, Storeroom/Warehouse Technology, and Inventory Management.

Our E-procurement software accessible via mobile device brings warehouse and supplier management to the edge, putting frontline employees who have the best view of current circumstances in charge of MRO supply management. This capability has taken on a greater importance in the wake of the recent global pandemic. Touchless inventory, payment, receiving, and distribution, which just a couple of years ago were regarded as stop-gap measures to deal with COVID-19 now present avenues for businesses to achieve strategic advantage.
