Case Study: Kaufman Trailers improves tire shipment verification with Storetraffic’s automated counting solution

Kaufman Trailers spots a 4-tire discrepancy with Storetraffic

Kaufman Trailers, a North American trailer manufacturer, faced a challenge in accurately verifying the quantity of tires received during shipment unloading to ensure correct supplier billing. Their manual counting process using clickers was inconsistent and labor-intensive. To solve this, they partnered with Storetraffic, which implemented a wireless beam sensor counting solution adapted for this specific warehouse use case.

Storetraffic's solution provided automated counting during the unloading process, immediately identifying a discrepancy of four tires on the first shipment of over 800 units. This eliminated the need for one to two dedicated counting employees per unloading, saving labor costs and reducing a previously ~2-hour manual counting task. The implementation delivered immediate return on investment and greatly improved count accuracy for Kaufman Trailers.
