“We are excited about the launch and for the future. We started the brand LFC to create an ecosystem for mid-sized discrete manufacturing firms. With over 15 years of experience, we have delivered performance transformation across Asia. Looking for ways to increase productivity and improve ROI, we compiled the different pain points, including the time it takes to set up infrastructure for data collection and the compilation and analysis required for strong decision-making and problem-solving. ConnectFacts was conceptualized as an outcome of that exercise. We are proud. We are confident that ConnectFacts will be the right solution for the digital transformation of manufacturing firms,” said Gangadharan, co-founder of LFC and ConnectFacts.
