CLIENT QUOTES
Take it from some of our top-shelf clients.
“
We were struggling to find a local resource that could meet our expectations of quality and service. King Solutions has been phenomenal for us. We’ve been able to grow our business to the tune of well over a million dollars in the last year and a half because of what they do.
”
“
I very much respect their desire to give back to the community. That was the icing on the cake.
”
“
Our goal was to find a world-class provider, best in space, who we could then leverage, because that’s what we do. We manage resources. We don’t want to become the warehousing and distribution. So, after long and extensive research, we finally found a solution in the Twin Cities that could provide what we needed to go sell.

Case Study
Sometimes 1 warehouse is greater than 3.
–
Our client, a Fortune 500 integrated communications company, runs a complex business, so it’s no surprise their challenges aren’t simple. For instance, they were using three separate warehouses to store materials — each with their own inventory system and data entry process — that weren’t always in sync. This slowed down daily operations and prevented them from having a single, global view of their inventory.
The King solution
We consolidated multiple warehouses into one accessible location.
–
We integrated a new custom inventory system, just for them.
–
Raw materials are routed to King for a future production run.
–
Products receive individual product/barcode labels.
–
Raw materials are scanned into inventory and become visible to our client.
–
When raw materials are requested, inventory is again scanned so the client knows what’s been shipped and how much inventory is left.
The results
A faster and more reliable process for obtaining production materials.
–
Significantly less space for raw materials means a much smaller footprint.
–
A reduction in physical inventory time due to inventory being stored in a single location and tracked with reliable software.
–
Greater flexibility in production and scheduling for when job changes occur.
–
Confidence in knowing the right raw materials will arrive when needed.
