Precision Manufacturer Improves Shipping Accuracy with Custom ACCU-DART Solution
Case Study: Paramount Die
Paramount Die is the leading designer and manufacturer of wire drawing die inserts and tooling systems for the wire drawing industry. Many of their inventory items are extremely small. Tracking the movement of items coming in, going out, and moving throughout the facility was difficult. Inventory is also stored in custom packaging in both metric and imperial sizes, which makes it very easy for warehouse staff to make mistakes when reading labels.
In search of a better way to manage inventory, Paramount Die contacted their AccountMate reseller, Profit Programming Inc. They immediately recognized the need to contact Irwin Ash, the creator of ACCU-DART.
With years of experience in inventory control, Irwin understands how warehouses should operate for optimal efficiency.
“Irwin Ash is well-known in the AccountMate community as an expert in warehouse management as well as the use of barcode scanners to manage inventory issues.”
The Solution
ACCU-DART is a real-time inventory management solution designed to integrate directly with AccountMate. Using radio-frequency scanners, ACCU-DART allows warehouse staff to validate and update inventory transactions in real time, which ensures that all users throughout the organization have accurate and current information. ACCU-DART confirms in real time that the correct item is being picked, which eliminates errors caused by confusing labels and manual entry.
Paramount Die initially selected modules from ACCU-DART’s library of standard functions. They quickly realized that their unique operations required customized solutions.
“We started with the basics, and have built on that to tackle increasingly complex problems.”
ACCU-DART engineered several custom features to address Paramount Die’s individual workflow challenges. As the lead programmer and creator of ACCU-DART, Irwin Ash is able to design any customization required to solve unique business issues.
The Result
With ACCU-DART in place, Paramount Die significantly reduced inventory errors within their facility.
They report:
“The number one improvement has been in shipping accuracy. These items are easy to confuse when reading labels with the eye. This resulted in many errors in shipments. Using the ACCU-DART shipping module, customized to this application, has reduced shipping errors to almost zero.”
Thanks to the expertise of Irwin Ash and the ACCU-DART team, Profit Programming Inc. was able to deliver an accurate, real-time inventory solution that was customized to fit Paramount Die’s specific needs.
