Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2017 call → NOWe need to answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: does management describe that buyers who have already bought from the company and seen the result are now asking for more than the company can currently supply, and is management working to enlarge the company in response? We need to find evidence in the transcript. Look for any mention of existing customers, repeat buyers, or partners who are demanding more than current capacity, and management's response to expand. Scan the transcript. There is discussion about Heartland Dental, a new customer. But that's a new customer, not a repeat buyer. There is discussion about sales force realignment, but that's about productivity. There is discussion about Animal Health, but that's about margin pressure. There is discussion about ERP implementation, but that's about internal systems. The question specifically asks about "buyers who have already bought from the company and seen the result are now asking for more than the company can currently supply." That would be like a customer who has used the product and now wants more, but the company can't keep up. I don't see any such description in the transcript. Management talks about challenges, but not about demand exceeding supply from existing customers. They talk about "new customer relationships" and "Heartland" but that's new. They talk about "core equipment" being a bright spot, but not about inability to supply. There is no mention of capacity constraints, backlogs, or customers being told to wait. The only mention of "backlog" is in the context of "we feel very confident as well in our backlog" but that's about orders, not about exceeding supply. Thus, the answer is NO.
