Case Study: Porteous Fastener Company achieves faster, paperless inventory operations with AccellosOne WMS from Accellos

AccellosOne Warehouse Management System Shines in the Complex Environment of the Porteous Fasteners Warehouse

Porteous Fastener Company, a large distributor of nuts, bolts, screws and other commodities, needed highly accurate, company-wide inventory visibility to compete in a fast-moving market where orders are often won or lost in seconds. As its network grew to six regional distribution centers and nine branches, the company turned to Accellos and AccellosOne Warehouse Management System to manage complex inventory, support rapid quoting, and keep stock status current across all locations.

Accellos implemented a tightly integrated warehouse management solution that streamlined receiving, putaway, picking, transfers, and shipping, while introducing handheld scanners, velocity-based zoning, and virtual/phantom warehouse controls. The results included a 15–20% reduction in pick time, paperless operations, single-shift logistics across all locations, and instant access to company-wide inventory, helping Porteous Fastener Company reduce workforce by about 25% and improve customer service and sales responsiveness.
