Case Study: Windy City Equipment achieves real-time mobile inventory control with BarCloud by Asap Systems

Windy City Equipment - Customer Case Study

Windy City Equipment, a Phoenix-based provider of commercial kitchen parts and repair, faced growing pains as its customer base and warehouse stock expanded. After operating without a formal inventory system for a decade, the company struggled to track roughly 20,000 parts across a new warehouse and field technicians, causing wasted time, guessing on stock levels, and the risk of costly stockouts or overstocks.

They implemented ASAP Systems’ Passport Stock Inventory and Passport Mobile, printing barcoded labels, importing master lists, and using technicians’ smartphones for scanning. The system delivered real-time visibility—searchable part records with images, cost, location, automated counts, and email/SMS alerts—reducing search time, improving service responsiveness, and providing a scalable platform for future growth.
