Case Study: Natela Importers improves picking efficiency and inventory control with Made4Net WarehouseExpert

Natela Importers - Customer Case Study

Natela Importers, a leading food distributor in South Africa, was struggling with an outdated, paper-based inventory system and a lack of real-time tracking in its Syspro ERP. This led to costly operational inefficiencies, including difficulty locating products, significant write-offs from poor expiration date management, and an inability to handle increasing order volumes. To overcome these challenges, they turned to vendor Made4Net for a WarehouseExpert warehouse management system (WMS).

Made4Net implemented its WarehouseExpert WMS in approximately 16 weeks. The solution provided fully automated, directed workflows from receiving to shipping and was integrated with Syspro and RF barcode scanners. The measurable results for Natela Importers were substantial, including a 20% decrease in picking costs, a near doubling of inventory turns, and a drastic reduction in errors. Made4Net's system also enabled strict FEFO control and allowed the company to answer customer inquiries with real-time data immediately.
