Today's furniture manufacturers face a multitude of new business complexities. Product
demands span a broad spectrum -- from commoditized to highly customized products.
Customer demands are always changing while competition from lower-cost markets is
increasing. Creating brand differentiation is more dependent than ever on customer
service, sales and supply chain agility to reduce order-to-shipment times. Market
leadership and growth is more dependent than ever on understanding customer needs
and providing the products and services to meet them when requested.
The pressure of responding to these new challenges is accompanied by the age-old
pressure of maintaining margins and profitability. Vital to success in this environment
is the ability of your business to control costs and optimize processes. As a result,
many furniture companies are focusing on improving supply chain management -- on
streamlining operations and optimizing their ability to adapt to a changing business
environment.
Obstacles you face! All too often, supply chain improvement efforts
are stalled by a fragmented and disparate IT landscape -- loosely connected solutions,
including legacy systems, manufacturing execution systemsand an assortment of custom
applications. Not only does this mean high IT integration costs, but more importantly,
it means impaired visibility into the very supply chain processes you need to improve.

of furniture companies. Katalyst Furniture is a ready-to-run system! We will eliminate
the cost of integrating inefficient legacy systems and provide executives, business
