Business process automation and warehouse operations management solution for a food company

A convenient mobile app for inventory management and optimization of warehouse operations developed for a chain of retail stores.

Client

Food Union is a group of food-producing companies operating in a variety of markets, from the Baltic states and Northern Europe to China and other geographies.

Challenge

Food Union hired Mainsoft to develop an Android application to be installed on Zebra terminals used by the company at its warehouses. The application was supposed to automate warehouse operations and optimize the work of warehouse personnel.

Description

The purpose of the solution is to provide up-to-date information about warehouse stock levels for dairy products. The system tracks inbound and outbound shipments and currently automates two business processes: loading and unloading.

Solution highlights

Secure user authentication
Fast and convenient scanning of product QR codes resulting in automatic inventory updates
Concurrent saving of new inventory records from multiple terminals to a central database
Zebra Mobile Touch Computer support

Results

The solution enabled the customer to significantly improve the efficiency of warehouse operations and get a clearer picture of current stock levels for different products and product categories. Future releases will support more operations: moving, returns, assembly, receiving goods from manufacturing, etc.
Mainsoft was responsible for the mobile application only. The client’s server infrastructure already existed and was controlled by the client’s IT team according to corporate security standards (a firewall-protected network environment, SSH connections, and more).
