We all know how much time and money can be lost due to manual data entry and re-entry. Whether managing inventory, work orders, or other business processes, relying on paper forms or separate systems is both redundant and inefficient. You’re not only duplicating efforts but also increasing the risk of costly data entry errors and unnecessary labor.
Imagine a large manufacturing company facing significant operational losses due to inefficiencies in time management, labor, and workflow. In this scenario, their inventory and work order processes aren’t fully digitized, and the data collected by employees isn’t integrated in real-time with their core business systems. Even though the company has made some efforts to digitize forms, these would remain isolated in various applications that can’t communicate with each other or the primary business platforms. As a result, manual data entry would still be necessary, leading to delays and inaccurate reporting.
If this scenario sounds familiar, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: this manufacturer could potentially save as much as they projected to lose after implementing a better way to digitize their processes using MSM Solutions’ PortalTrack software, combined with Zebra mobility solutions like the MC9400.
A Streamlined Solution for Digitizing Inventory and Workflow Management
PortalTrack enables real-time data collection, tracking, and automation, removing the inefficiencies of paper forms and disjointed digital tools. With PortalTrack, inventory and work orders are digitized and accessible via Zebra’s rugged mobile devices, creating a seamless data flow from field operations directly into backend business systems. This solution eliminates redundant data entry, reduces errors, and provides real-time insights into operations.
Here’s how the combination of PortalTrack and Zebra solutions can help:
| Consolidation of Forms and Workflows: | PortalTrack offers a single platform to digitize all types of forms, eliminating the need to manage multiple tools and applications for data collection. |
| Real-Time Data Integration: | With Zebra devices like the MC9400, all form data is captured in real-time and automatically synced to your business systems, allowing for faster, more accurate decision-making. |
| Increased Efficiency and Error Reduction: | By removing manual steps and integrating barcode scanning and/or RFID technology, workers complete tasks faster, and with fewer errors. This is particularly valuable in manufacturing and warehousing, where accurate inventory tracking is critical. |
User-Friendly Mobile Solutions: Zebra’s MC9400 mobile computer provides a rugged, user-friendly interface that supports a variety of field operations, from inventory tracking to maintenance workflows. It ensures workers can capture and access data on the go, even in challenging environments.
Unlock the Power of Digitization
Many companies still face the challenge of managing complex workflows with outdated or inefficient systems. But the future lies in leveraging advanced technologies like the combination of MSM’s PortalTrack inventory management software, and hardware from Zebra Technologies, to digitize processes and eliminate the need for manual data entry. Not only can you streamline your operations, but you can also unlock significant savings.
If you’re looking to modernize your processes, reduce errors, and improve efficiency, now is the time to explore what solutions like PortalTrack and Zebra can do for your business.
