GCP Case Study: How Custom AI Software Improved Order Forecasting and Efficiency

GCP Industrial, a global leader in industrial rubber and silicone materials, needed a smarter, automated way to forecast orders. Their manual process was time-consuming and error-prone, leading to inefficiencies in inventory management and supply chain planning.

ISU Corp leveraged its ISU Core platform as the foundation to develop a custom AI-driven predictive ordering system tailored to GCP’s specific operational needs. This solution seamlessly integrated with GCP’s NetSuite ERP, eliminated guesswork, optimized inventory management, and significantly improved efficiency across their operations.
