Move away from Paper-Based Records
The
Problem
The company needed to record locations where their stock are stored, and to
have a system that allows efficient stock rotation to eliminate wasted stock.
The Solution
Nexatrak's Stokware Asset Tracking solution was an ideal choice as it
allowed BBP to create rails and add dolavs using a very user friendly web
front end. Stokware also allowed for the contents of each dolav to be
recorded. Every dolav was tagged, and its rail location recorded.
• Stokware's picking algorithm allowed personnel to always pick the
product that has the most recent expiry date, thus enabling
efficient stock rotation
• Stokware's put away algorithm allowed for products to be
stored based on their expiry dates , thus ensuring that the picking
process is optimised in terms of time taken
• Stock location is updated automatically
• The Stokware mobile app with handheld Zebra RFID readers also
allowed for personnel to record product temperatures
• Detailed audit logs show full movement records of each dolav
• Nexatrak customised Stokware to support BBP business processes
Benefits Realised
Improved Inventory Control
The company always had up to date information at their fingertips.
Eliminated Loss of Inventory due to Inefficient Stock Rotation
The directed picking meant that stock with most recent expiry dates was always picked first, thus
eliminating losses arising due to expired products going unpicked.
Reduced Manhours Labour Intensive Processes
Labour intensive processes such as putting stock away and picking stock for slicing was made
efficient as personnel no longer needed to "search" for stock.
