Orr Safety awards RockySoft Eagle Award for Excellence in Purchasing Support

Orr Safety Eagle Award

October 23, 2007 - Orr Safety recognized RockySoft with their Eagle Award for Excellence in Purchasing Support. RockySoft and Orr Safety formed their partnership in 2003. This award recognizes a partnership which aids Orr Safety in making their organization more profitable each year.

Just over 5 years ago, they installed RockySoft's demand planning and inventory management software to control inventory amounts, improve turns, lower freight costs and lower inventory levels.

For the past 3 years, Orr has seen over a 2.25% improvement in their gross margin percentage. Orr Safety attributes this to their partnership with RockySoft. Not only does Orr Safety value RockySoft as an asset to their purchasing department, but their IT personnel rate RockySoft as one of the best and easiest software companies to work with.

Using RockySoft's applications, helped Orrs inventory levels and fill rates stabilize, affirming their expectation of achieving inventory reduction goals. With this initial success, Orr moved quickly to incorporate all the targeted SKUs into the RockySoft planning process. Because not all inventory is created equal and not all demand patterns are uniform, Orr Safety sees one of the great benefits of the system as the ability to analyze and quickly respond to change. Working with RockySoft, Orr established aggressive goals to reduce inventory and increase turns while improving fill rates to 100 percent.

Orr Safety uses RockySoft;s core inventory management applications: Demand Manager, Requirements Planner, Exception Signals, Economic Order Manager and Supply Base Manager to achieve their goals.

Over 50 Years of Experience

Since 1948, Orr Safety's primary business focus has been in the wholesale distribution of industrial safety, occupational health, industrial hygiene, and fire-related equipment and supplies. Today, as one of the nation's largest privately owned safety distributors, they represent over 600 leading global manufacturers covering all aspects of product classifications with their network of strategically located distribution centers.

Tool King LLC Chooses RockySoft Inventory Management

LAKEWOOD, Colorado, July 24, 2006 (PRWEB) - Tool King LLC today announced a relationship with RockySoft Corporation to deliver an electronic inventory management system for ToolKing.com.

Tool King Managing Partner, Don Cohen said, “We have an aggressive merchandising growth plan in place in which we anticipate our product offerings to double every year for the next three years. To prepare for this exponential growth, we have upgraded our supply chain controls in order to effectively manage our warehouse usage and inventory costs in the future.”

RockySoft Inventory Management is a powerful software suite that helps determine the right inventory levels across multiple warehousing and distribution systems. Using historical sales data and user-defined limits, stock levels can be easily integrated with forecasted demand. Demand volatility and forecast stability features enable the user to make informed inventory decisions with fewer costly mistakes.

Additionally, there is virtually no need to carry surplus stock to offset forecasting errors. This eliminates extra inventory and along with it the loss of working cash, and the ongoing holding costs.

Added Cohen, “We realize that the online retailing arena is a competitive one. As we move forward and grow ever larger, we need the flexibility to react quickly to opportunities and changing market dynamics. We also need the products our customers want to be in stock at all times. RockySoft gives us the flexibility and efficiency we are looking for.”

About Tool King LLC

Since 1978, Tool King has made a name for itself by offering lower prices on tools and machinery, while providing a better level of service than the competition. Launched in 2001, ToolKing.com continues to offers these advantages, and provides innovative features that help customers choose the best product for their needs, and get more use out of their tools. Internet Retailer has recognized Tool King as a Top 50 website and a Top 5 Home Improvement Website. To learn more about Tool King LLC, visit www.toolking.com.

It was a great moment for the RockySoft team, who strolled in with the other Fins, Furs, and Feather award recipients all decked out in their Hawaiian Beach wear. Bill Gates and Doug Burgum were key note speakers at the event and chuckled at the teams desire to stand out. Yet again, another great year at Microsoft Convergence, see you all again next year!
