Meet Austere: Machining The World's Best Buckles
Austere Manufacturing makes the world's best buckles from a 500 sq. ft. barn. Space and time are two of a small team's most precious resources, and inventory issues were wasting a lot of both. After running out of a $.02 plastic bag and failing to ship a $3,000 order, it was time to make a change.
Improving process without disrupting progress
Put simply, Austere needed an easy way to never run out of anything again. All of the other tools they found on the market were costly and onerous, requiring the team to scan every part in and out of their inventory.
"Arda is the only tool we found that was easy enough for us to implement but powerful enough to help us grow. Using physical cards to track my physical goods is intuitive, and the order automation saved me so much time that I was able to double revenue and launch three new products."-Uriel Eisen, Austere Manufacturing Founder & CEO
Austere rolled out the system over time by adding supplies to Arda as they needed to be ordered. This gradual approach avoided dramatic changes to the business's operations and still delivered transformative results in just 6 months:
Sustainable Growth: No New Hires, Just Smart Systems
Arda's set-it-and-forget-it system helps Austere prevent stockouts and drive growth so they can focus on what they do best: making the world's best buckles.
Never Run Out Of Anything.
