What our customers are saying

When we first engaged with Hydrian, our primary goal for the engagement was to bring our fill rates above 99%... we have not only reached that goal but achieved the highest fill rates in our company’s history and even maintained them during the pandemic when supply chains were in flux.

Hydrian is a hybrid between a capable data science team and an intelligent and experienced consultant.
