HKM Yarns is a leading and significant yarn supplier and dealer in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. The company is involved in the import of yarns, fabric, and various other raw materials for the textile industry. Its significant suppliers include those from Taiwan, China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
HKM Yarn, like many other yarn dealers across South Africa, used manual inventory management methods. Lately, they did move to MS Excel, but that did not help the company automate inventory or usher efficiency in the company's inventory management ecosystem.
HKM had about 200,000 boxes in its warehouse. It wanted to manage its dispatches via an intelligent inventory management system that would suggest to them the batches to be sold first and close to the order quantity. The company required a comprehensive inventory view with four search filters.
The company tried to get into a dialogue with inventory and warehouse management companies to devise a custom inventory solution. But the efforts did not come to fruition, as none could engineer an inventory management solution that, while managing inventory, would minimize disruption.
Our well-defined process and organized approach involved reviewing the problem and studying the client's existing inventory management process. It helped us translate our efforts into a thoroughly customized mobile responsive and cloud-based WIMS (Warehouse and Inventory Management System) that will offer the following features.
Here's how our solution impacted our client's inventory management system.
