About No1 Raw Materials

"We started five years ago in 2019, and we are a thermoplastic resin supplier and recycler.” Elliott Montgomery, Owner

Founded in 2019, No1 Raw Materials supplies and recycles thermoplastic resins, helping manufacturers reduce waste and maintain a reliable flow of high-quality materials. The company’s small, agile team pairs hands-on expertise with modern technology to serve customers with precision and speed.

The Challenge

“Before starting with Digit, we used to manage inventory and shipping and receiving with various Excel spreadsheets. It was really cumbersome. We started looking for long-term solutions that could provide traceability, barcode scanning, and a history of data and reporting.” Elliott Montgomery, Owner

As demand grew, manual systems made it hard to track what was in stock, where it was stored, or what had shipped. Spreadsheet-based tracking led to human error, duplication, and slow response times for customers.

“Before Digit, we were using a manual spreadsheet to track all our inventory, which led to a lot of time to manually update and a lot of room for human error and inconsistencies.” Leo Kohler, Inside Sales and Procurement

The Solution

“Now, with Digit, we have real-time information on what we have, where it is, and how much more we need.” Leo Kohler, Inside Sales and Procurement

Digit provided No1 Raw Materials with a single connected system to manage materials, shipments, and production data. Every box, pallet, and order can now be barcoded and scanned directly into or out of inventory.

“We can barcode all of our inventory. We can scan things into inventory live. We can receive inventory live. We can ship product live, and it all updates in Digit immediately.” Elliott Montgomery, Owner

This automation gave the team the visibility and speed they needed to serve customers quickly and operate with confidence.

The Results

Digit has replaced spreadsheets with real-time data, traceability, and accuracy across every workflow.

Key outcomes:

• Speed and efficiency doubled or more across operations
  
• Full visibility into inventory, shipments, and material needs
  
• Accurate fulfillment through barcode scanning and pick lists
  
• Clean, reliable purchase order receiving

“One feature about Digit that we really like is the pick list feature. When we’re scanning boxes, it prevents us from picking the wrong one and ensures that only the correct boxes on the pick list are accepted onto the shipment.” Elliott Montgomery, Owner

“One of my favorite features with Digit is the ability to receive against a PO. Before it was a very manual process with room for duplicate entries or inaccuracies, but now we have a clean record to receive against, leading to accurate results every time.” Leo Kohler, Inside Sales and Procurement

“The impact of Digit has been huge for us. We’re a small team, so the ability to have real live data has sped up our operation and allowed us more time on the areas that we need to focus on.” Elliott Montgomery, Owner

Looking Ahead

With Digit fully embedded into their daily workflow, No1 Raw Materials is scaling confidently. The team continues to refine its processes, adding more automation and traceability as they grow.

“Digit has allowed us on every front to be faster, more precise, and it is allowing us to scale.” Elliott Montgomery, Owner
