What our customers say

Perform Group, LLC USA
Even though our current season bookings are up 30%, we havent shipped a single item late in over a quarter. Our performance is so good that we are starting a new guaranteed on-time or its free shipping program. John Misner CEO

TATA Guatemala
Since the implementation of FastReact, efficiency has measurably improved. We have reduced our lead times, and we have reduced work in progress by more than $100,000 in 6 months. We have also virtually eradicated late deliveries. Rodrigo Toledo Director

LT Karle India
FastReact typically quotes a ROI of under one year. However, considering our monthly wage bill, a 2% improvement of our monthly efficiency (by just improving our planning) can provide a ROI under 3-4 months. Gokal Chittaranjan Chief Executive - Manufacturing
