The Challenge: Streamlining Inventory Management in a Heating Up Industry
For manufacturers like Dolphin Radiators, staying ahead in a competitive market requires efficient and accurate inventory management. However, traditional paper-based systems or outdated software often lead to:

• Slow Processing Times: Time-consuming processes for receiving, picking, and packing orders can lead to delays and impact customer satisfaction.
• Limited Visibility: Lack of real-time inventory data makes it difficult to identify shortages, optimize stock levels, and manage production effectively.

These challenges were hindering Dolphin Radiators' ability to operate at peak efficiency.
