Manufacturers stand among DataSource’s best clients.  Our experience and real-world in-depth process expertise differentiate our efforts from more traditional document management companies.  And our approach, embedded in our Develop, Design, Deliver philosophy, coincides well with manufacturing needs.  Just like our clients, we understand where strong outside partnerships can provide advantage and excellent return on investment opportunities.

DataSource differentiates its efforts to manufacturing companies based on:

• True workflow automation.  We understand the importance of thinking through workflow well, and in executing flawlessly.  At DataSource, we know what we need to do, and we deliver against our commitments.  We take a metrics-based approach to measuring our performance, and work to exceed expectations.
  
  
• Substantial investments in logistics and fulfillment.  Our clients tell us that delivery is the key driver of their satisfaction.  So, DataSource continually invests in its logistics and fulfillment capabilities.  We take responsibility for total satisfaction, and we know that our ability to get our solutions delivered is the differentiator.  We invite our clients – and prospective clients – to visit our Kansas City-based operations headquarters to see our approach and learn why it is better.
  
  
• Process expertise.  DataSource brings real expertise to bear on each opportunity.  Our account management experts provide a unified portal to our complete portfolio of resources and knowledge.
  
  
• Integration with ERP and MRP solutions.  While our processes are core to our efforts, we know they need to fit within existing client workflow and systems.  We work with our clients’ IT professionals to integrate our solutions, ordering, reporting and invoicing into central manufacturing applications.
  
  
• Outstanding brand and version control.  DataSource understands the importance of brand and version control.  Our approach, which incorporates print-on-demand and just-in-time inventory controls, naturally reduces obsolescence, increases version control, and coordinates branding and logo control.
