* Allows employees 24/7 access to supplies, when and where they need them, increasing productivity, efficiency and accountability.
* Integrates with clients existing e-procurement systems for seamless inventory restock.
* Enables reduced inventory consumption through continuous monitoring and access control.
* Automated data capture means system users do not need to key in data saving time and money.
Accuracy is also improved as there is less opportunity for mistakes.
Inventor-e implemented Cab-e-nets into a first tier automotive supplier in Burnley, UK, to manage issuance and replenishment of welding supplies at point of use (POU).
"The automatic inventory tracking ensures our employees have what they need when they need it." said Steve Basford, materials control manager.
Inventor-e.net a web-hosted supply management solution collects the data from Cab-e-nets and other POU devices, analyses and provides management reports that can be viewed on the web or downloaded to Excel.
Inventor-e.net significantly improves inventory visibility, automates reordering and improves operational efficiencies across an organisation.
Inventor-e.net also provides access to usage and issuance information as well as real time data on supplier performance.
"With the launch of Cab-e-net, Inventor-e provides a revolutionary generation of dispensing capabilities, which will help companies ensure that materials are available in the right place at the right time with the right level of accountability," said Dean Henry, managing director of Inventor-e.
"Cab-e-nets capability to manage products that were previously unable to be managed at point of use successfully, due to item size and/or high volume usage, gives our customers the ability to control inventory they would otherwise thought impossible to be managed at point of use." The cost of procuring supplies is reduced from between 20% to 40% due to automated re-ordering, the reduction of employee hoarding, reduced inventory consumption, and the elimination of stock outs and high-cost emergency purchases.
