Case Study: Detectortesters achieves 50% lower costs and lead times with Epicor Mobile Warehouse

Streamlining Warehouse Processes Delivers Time and Cost Savings of over 50%

Detectortesters, a leading manufacturer of fire detector test equipment, was struggling with slow, manual, paper-based warehouse processes that caused picking errors, dispatch mistakes, and long lead times. Working with Epicor and its Epicor Kinetic platform, the company needed a way to improve production and ensure products could be delivered quickly and accurately worldwide.

Epicor implemented Epicor Mobile Warehouse to digitize warehouse transactions, enable live scanning at the point of pick, and improve part, lot, and quantity validation. The result was a 50% reduction in lead times and average costs, with production planning cut to one day and component picking reduced from seven hours to three, while dispatch accuracy and inventory control also improved significantly.
