COLUMBUS, OH — SC Codeworks has been named the winner of the Supply Chain Consultancy Project category at the Institute for Supply Management’s 2025 Supply Chain Trailblazer Awards, recognizing a project that improved accuracy, speed, and throughput inside a high‑volume warehouse operation.
SC Codeworks wins ISM 2025 Supply Chain Trailblazer Award for consultancy project impact
The challenge
The award honors SC Codeworks’ work transforming a high‑volume kitting operation into a connected digital workflow. Limited real‑time visibility and disconnected tracking methods made it difficult to maintain accuracy and speed as demand increased.
The approach
SC Codeworks addressed the challenge by building a custom kitting module within its warehouse management system. The solution introduced barcode‑based tracking, real‑time visibility into every kit, and automated validation at each step of assembly.
A phased rollout
“The phased rollout began with a pilot line, followed by full deployment across operations once workflows were validated and teams trained,” said Suresh Chappidi, President and CEO of SC Codeworks. “Teams were spending more time chasing errors than moving products. Once every part and step became visible in real time, decisions got faster and the entire operation started to move differently.”
Measurable impact
Those changes showed up quickly in performance:
- Order accuracy increased to more than 99 percent.
- Cycle times dropped by over 40 percent.
- Throughput improved by roughly 25 percent without adding labor.
- On‑time delivery rates increased; rework and inventory discrepancies declined.
