Transcat, a prominent provider in the calibration and measurement equipment industry, faced operational challenges due to separate inventory systems for their partner companies. The dual inventory structure led to redundant storage, higher costs, and unnecessary complexity in managing product availability and delivery logistics. Seeking a unified, efficient solution, Transcat turned to Classy Llama to consolidate these inventories under a single, optimized platform.

This consolidation represents more than a technical transition—it’s an overhaul aimed at a cost-effective, streamlined operation that will serve Transcat and their customers more efficiently.
