与高效、具有成本效益的贸易伙伴一起加速全球增长

玛斯特锁公司

玛斯特锁公司在世界范围内被公认为挂锁和安全产品中的可靠、经久不衰的名称。自 1921 年成立以来，该公司不断为锁的设计、应用和性能设定新标准。 TMLC 总部位于美国威斯康星州，是全球最大的挂锁和保险箱制造商和营销商。

全球增长，EDI 挑战

对于玛斯特锁公司而言，快节奏的全球增长意味着每年与更多的合作伙伴进行合作和交易。公司如何授权其精益 EDI 团队来管理不断增长的需求？

国际扩张可以成为推动收入和增加市场份额的有力工具——但它也带来了挑战。在新的地区运营通常意味着加入大量额外的贸易伙伴，每个贸易伙伴都有自己特定的当地要求。

这就是全球最大的挂锁和个人保险箱制造商和营销商玛斯特锁公司 (TMLC) 面临的情况。利用有机增长和战略收购，该公司已在亚洲、中美洲和欧洲的新市场开展国际业务。
