Lumenpulse Drives Growth with Lean Management
Thanks to barcodes, Lumenpulse has reduced the time needed to do a physical inventory by 60%.
Lumenpulse called upon Thinkmax to implement the ScanWorkX solution to optimize their operations.

Not only the result of a great team effort between, but also a clear understanding of change management.
