Allied Hygiene faced significant challenges in maintaining accurate inventory counts due to their manual, paper-based methods. Despite consolidating their warehouse operations from 10 locations to one, they struggled with stock inaccuracies, leading to difficulties in fulfilling sales orders and lengthy, error-prone stock counts. The manual process of entering stock data was time-consuming and often resulted in errors, making it difficult to maintain an accurate inventory. This inefficiency affected their ability to provide timely information to customers regarding order statuses and led to operational delays.

Allied Hygiene is a British manufacturer and international distributor of industrial wipe products. The company has a significant presence in the market, providing essential hygiene products to various industries. With a focus on quality and efficiency, Allied Hygiene has been striving to improve its operational processes to better serve its customers. The company recently upgraded its ERP system to NetSuite, aiming to enhance its inventory management and overall operational efficiency. Allied Hygiene's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction drives its continuous efforts to optimize its processes and adopt new technologies.

Allied Hygiene implemented RF-SMART, a mobile barcoding solution, to address their inventory management challenges. The solution was recommended by their NetSuite implementation partner and quickly proved effective in improving inventory control. RF-SMART's functions, such as sales order picking, goods receiving, item inquiry, and bin transfers, helped tighten inventory control and reduce errors. The real-time data provided by RF-SMART allowed for rapid improvements in accuracy and efficiency. The implementation of cycle counting further enhanced their inventory accuracy, increasing it from 75% to 99.6%. This allowed Allied Hygiene to conduct stock counts less frequently and with fewer resources. Additionally, RF-SMART was deployed in the chemical area of their manufacturing department, where mobile work order functions reduced human errors and provided instant visibility of stock levels and work order statuses. The user-friendly interface facilitated quick adaptation by the manufacturing team, leading to a smooth transition and efficient use of the new technology.
