Perfect Item Master

”Our key to success was getting our item master data right before the Kardex System went live. We only exceeded projections because every item had a perfect home in the system.

CASE STUDY

A global consumer electronics company offers 80,000 products to IT professionals. Company leadership wanted to move forward with a Kardex inventory system to speed up their pick and pack process. However, they were not storing accurate dimension data in their product item master list.

Kardex system installation requires product attributes like, foldable, stackable, nestable, fragile, as well as accurate product dimension data. Accurate data allows each Kardex machine to optimize storage locations.

We helped this computer peripherals and connectivity company capture item dimensions and attributes to create a Perfect Item Master in packchain. Over a three-month period, every product had physical dimensions and attributes. This created the right foundation for automated inventory storage.

Our combined work resulted in an entire Kardex machine being removed from the project scope. Project costs dropped $780k, and that helped the company achieve a 120% ROI in the first year with the system.
