Keeping Track of Inventory at an Indoor and Outdoor Facilities
Case Study: Circle S Irrigation
Circle S Irrigation provides a full range of products and services for agricultural irrigation. Based in Clarksdale, MS, Circle S utilizes a large outdoor facility to store irrigation equipment. With both customers and installers picking items directly from their facilities, Circle S struggled with keeping track of inventory transactions and changes. In addition, they needed accurate receiving and inventory count information.
In search of an inventory control solution, Circle S contacted Advantage Business Solutions, their Sage 300 ERP reseller. Advantage Business Solutions recommended ACCU-DART.
Why ACCU-DART Was the Right Fit
ACCU-DART is a real-time inventory control solution designed to integrate directly with your ERP system. Using radio-frequency scanners, ACCU-DART validates and updates item and serial information instantly — ensuring that the correct items are always being processed.
For Circle S, ACCU-DART delivered:
-
accurate tracking of indoor AND outdoor inventory
-
real-time updates to Sage 300
-
seamless adoption and minimal disruption
-
reliable validation of item movement and picking activity
Because Circle S is located in a remote area — over an hour from any major city — scheduling on-site implementation would typically be difficult. However, ACCU-DART’s easy installation allowed Advantage Business Solutions to install and configure the system quickly, with the ACCU-DART team providing phone-based support.
The system is simple to learn, allowing staff to become productive almost immediately.

“The customer can perform a complete inventory count in a weekend.”
ACCU-DART’s ease of use and direct integration with Sage 300 ERP have enabled Circle S to manage real-time inventory tracking — even in their outdoor yard.
