”Managing product data and attributes is easy in packchain.

CASE STUDY

A global consumer electronics vendor sells 80,000 products to IT professionals. The company struggled with managing product dimension and attribute data inside Microsoft Dynamics. This made seemingly simple product level reporting very difficult.

Over a 90-day period, we worked with this computer peripherals and connectivity company to capture and store 80,000 product dimensions and attributes. These product attributes ranged from eaches and cases, to whether the product was stackable and its Country of Origin.

At the end of this process, the company had built a Perfect Item Master inside packchain. And packchain seamlessly connected to Microsoft Dynamics, which made product level reporting easy.

Easy product level reporting became necessary for tariff compliance. When global tariff talks ramped up, a Country of Origin report for 80,000 products was generated in seconds. This capability sidestepped massive costs related to manual data collection and related error management.
