Fortna Inc. Announces Substantial Client Bottom-Line

READING, PA (July 31, 2018) – Fortna®, The Distribution Experts®, today announced that clients of its supply chain strategy practice in the past 18 months have achieved up to 25% operating expense reduction after implementing recommendations that improve service levels and enable growth. Additionally, clients have reported up to 140% revenue enablement by ensuring their DC operations are not bottlenecks and are actually competitive advantages. Fortna’s strategy practice focuses on helping companies solve complex business issues, managing growth with ever-increasing competition, and identifying and navigating risk while utilizing effective change management techniques.
Additionally, Fortna has assisted clients across several vertical industries in determining where to allocate capital to deliver the strongest return on investment by delivering a proven business case approach.
