"Nypro buys a wide variety of materials from different manufacturers. Rather than spending a lot of time trying to find the information that I need on various websites, I'm able to use IDES Prospector to quickly locate data sheets and search for alternative resins that meet the current material specifications. It's quick, easy, one-stop shopping providing a way for me to get the information I need." Scott Townsend, Sourcing Agent

Challenge

• Nypro was spending too much time visiting a number of resin manufacturers' websites to gather product information. Initially they had to learn how to use each website in order to access data sheets and processing guidelines.
• They also needed an efficient way to find and review alternative plastics to reduce material spend.

Solution

• Provide a way for Nypro to use one, uniform website to track down product information from 669 resin manufacturers.

Results

• Using IDES Prospector, Nypro has quick access to 76652 technical data sheets with detailed processing information.
• From each product's datasheet, Nypro can locate alternative materials and request pricing directly from resin distributors.
