Case Study: Hidaka USA reduces inventory labor and improves accuracy with AIM Mobility Physical Inventory App from AIM Computer Solutions

Sheet Metal Fabricator Hidaka USA Automates Inventory Processes with AIM Mobility Physical Inventory App

Hidaka USA, a manufacturer of prototype and production sheet metal parts, faced a significant challenge with its manual inventory process. The method was highly inefficient, requiring up to 320 man-hours from employees and was prone to errors that disrupted production and risked the accuracy of financial audits. To solve this, they turned to vendor AIM Computer Solutions and implemented their AIM Mobility Physical Inventory App.

The solution from AIM Computer Solutions automated the inventory counting process using barcode scanners on tablets, which provided real-time error checking and validation. This implementation slashed the physical inventory labor requirement in half, from 320 to 160 man-hours, and delivered highly accurate, actionable audit data. The process was so intuitive that Hidaka USA required minimal training and was able to conduct subsequent inventories without needing on-site support from the vendor.
