This project marks the continuation of enVista’s long-standing partnership with this leading retailer, having optimized its end-to-end supply chain through several supply chain strategy and distribution initiatives.

enVista’s CEO, Jim Barnes, said, “Since launching our Testing as a Service (TaaS) offering in partnership with Cycle Labs this March, we have seen significant positive momentum in the market. Many of the challenges warehouse leaders face can be traced back to insufficient testing. Our TaaS team is committed to rigorous, thorough testing that eliminates the risk of surprise errors but additionally gives our clients the confidence to move quickly. The TaaS program not only reduces risk but helps our clients dramatically reduce time-to-value, unlocking more business growth opportunities faster than ever before.”
