Press Release Summary: Datacraft Solutions Pull-Based Inventory Replenishment System
Drives Immediate ROI for Thermo Fisher

Press Release Body: Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO) is the world leader in
serving science, enabling customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer.
With annual sales of more than $9 billion, the company employs 30,000 people and
serves over 350,000 customers within pharmaceutical and biotech companies, hospitals
and clinical diagnostic labs, universities, research institutions and government
agencies, as well as environmental and industrial process control settings.

Serving customers through two premier brands, Thermo Scientific and Fisher
Scientific, this leading company helps to solve analytical challenges from routine
testing to complex research and discovery. Thermo Scientific offers customers a
complete range of high-end analytical instruments as well as laboratory equipment,
software, services, consumables and reagents to enable integrated laboratory
workflow solutions. Fisher Scientific provides a complete portfolio of laboratory
equipment, chemicals, supplies and services used in scientific research, safety,
healthcare and science education.

Since using Datacraft Solutions' Signum inventory replenishment system, Thermo
Fisher Scientific reduced the inventory put on the system by 10% which yielded
significant savings. Suppliers visited the Thermo Fisher facility to increase the
pricing because of the labor intensive process of receiving and working with their
orders. After executives demonstrated and explained the impacts that resulted from
the Signum system, the company decided not to increase their pricing.


According to Datacraft Solutions' CEO Stephen Parker, "The kind of rapid
return-on-investment experienced by Thermo Fisher is a frequent occurrence for our
clients. We like to refer to it as instant ROI...this technology immediately
impacts the bottom-line."
