Paper tickets, lost data, and a growing inventory gap
A large commercial and residential roofing company was tracking inventory entering and leaving their warehouse through paper tickets.
These tickets were often lost, forgotten, or inaccurate, leading to unreliable data entry.
As the company continued to grow, so did the discrepancy between the book value and physical value of their inventory.
Paper forms with hard-to-read handwriting combined with a legacy accounting system created compounding errors.
Tackling inventory problems at the source
Here's how we helped transform their operations:
End-to-End Assessment
2 weeksConducted a comprehensive assessment of what was driving the root cause of the discrepancy, analyzing the entire inventory flow from receiving to job allocation.
Process Optimization
2 weeksRedesigned inventory tracking workflows to eliminate paper-based handoffs and create accountability at each step of the process.
Low-Code App Development
4 weeksBuilt a custom low-code application enabling transaction-level detail reporting. Previously only total dollar amounts were entered for a job—now every item movement is tracked.
Digital Automation
3 weeksImplemented a digital robot (RPA) to eliminate time spent hand-entering rows of data into the legacy accounting system, removing human error from the process.
