Indaux Cuts Expedites and Reduces Inventory with Intuiflow

Iñigo Ortiz, Operations Director at Indaux, oversees a global organization with five subsidiaries, four production facilities, and distribution in more than 30 countries. Facing supply chain complexity and planning inefficiencies, he needed a faster way to align production and sourcing with demand signals.

But with fragmented planning methods across factories and a complex, multi-level Bill of Materials, teams were stuck firefighting. Service levels were under pressure, WIP orders accumulated, and costly expedites from overseas suppliers created ongoing risk.

That’s when they turned to Intuiflow. After implementing Demand Driven MRP concepts such as buffer positioning and demand signal filtering, Indaux synchronized demand with manufacturing and sourcing. Within months, expedites were significantly reduced and purchased parts inventory dropped by 10%.

Results at a Glance

• Significant reduction in costly expedites
• 10% reduction in purchased parts inventory
• Greater visibility across the supply chain
• Unified planning methods across all factories

The Challenge

Indaux, a Spanish leader in furniture fittings manufacturing, operates internationally with over 2,000 customers and more than 25,000 SKUs. The company promises 24-hour delivery, making supply chain performance critical.

However, the organization faced major planning challenges:

• Thousands of Work In Process (WIP) orders
• Different planning methods from each factory
• Complex 7-level Bill of Materials
• A global buy–sell portfolio with international sourcing

These inefficiencies drove costly expedites and reduced operational agility.

The Intuiflow Solution

Indaux implemented Intuiflow, applying Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) principles such as buffer positioning, buffer sizing, and demand signal filtering.

• Simulation-first → ROI proven before purchase
• Live in weeks, ROI in 60–90 days
• Autopilot optimized buffers item by item
• Intuitive UI reduced firefighting and manual work

These capabilities provided high visibility across the supply chain and aligned sourcing, production, and planning with real demand.

The Results

KPI Table

The implementation allowed Indaux to reduce expedites significantly, cut purchased parts inventory by 10%, and align planners across multiple facilities on a single solution.

“Intuiflow has dramatically reduced the time we spend for planning, and our expedites from China have been significantly reduced.” — Iñigo Ortiz, Operations Director

Looking Ahead

Indaux plans to continue extending Intuiflow’s demand-driven logic across its subsidiaries and production sites. With buffers now protecting purchased parts and key inputs, the company is positioned to handle future volatility, scale global growth, and deliver on its 24-hour service promise with leaner inventory.
