Materials Procurement & MRP

Managing materials is a complex piece of the promotional process.  Delays in the flow of materials can disrupt the production timeline, put retailer trade deadlines at risk, result in fines, and even mean loss of sale!

Crescent has the tools and experience to manage the complexities of materials resource planning - ensuring the right products are available at the right time and at the right price. This allows our customers to focus on managing their brands in the market place.

Crescent has partnered with local and regional suppliers who are nationally recognized for superior quality and service in the manufacturing of regular slotted cartons (RSC's), printed displays (PDQ's, Kickstands, etc.), shrink bands (PVC, PET, etc.), blister packs and more. 

Some customers may prefer to handle materials specifications and artwork approval directly with our supplier, then hand off to Crescent for ordering and inventory management. This proven model has generated cost savings for our customers.

The chart to the right demonstrates how Crescent’s materials resource planning capabilities are a natural fit in the promotional process, freeing our customers to focus on their core competencies.
