Client Overview
Our client, a mid-sized logistics company, operates multiple warehouses across the country. Specializing in supply chain management, they cater to businesses that rely on quick inventory turnover and precise stock monitoring. With a growing number of clients, their operations demanded an upgrade to keep up with increasing inventory volumes and tighter deadlines.
The Business Challenge
The client faced challenges managing their inventory using manual tracking systems and outdated software. This led to:
- Inaccurate inventory counts causing delays in order fulfillment.
- Inefficient warehouse operations with mislocated stock.
- Limited real-time visibility into stock levels, resulting in overstocking and understocking issues.
- Higher labor costs due to unnecessary manual effort.
Key Objectives:
- Implement a real-time inventory tracking system.
- Improve stock accuracy and warehouse efficiency.
- Reduce manual errors and save time.
- Provide insightful inventory reports to aid decision-making.
