Case Study: Sonoco achieves paperless work orders and inventory control with DPSI iMaint Mobile

Sonoco saves thousands annually with DPSI iMaint Mobile

Sonoco, a major global packaging company, faced challenges with reactive maintenance and a disorganized inventory system at its Morristown plant. This led to inefficiencies, budget overruns, and difficulty tracking parts. To address this, the customer began using the iMaint Online CMMS from vendor DPSI to manage maintenance records and asset data.

DPSI's solution was expanded with the implementation of iMaint Mobile on wireless PDAs with barcode scanners. This allowed technicians to update work orders and scan inventory in real-time, eliminating manual data entry and creating paperless processes. The results included saving several man-hours per week, thousands of dollars in annual savings, a highly organized inventory system that impressed the accounting department, and significantly improved plant availability. Vendor DPSI provided a system that led to continuous improvement and major productivity gains.
