Case Study: Process Control Outlet halves inventory operating costs and gains real-time stock visibility with Wasp Barcode Technologies

Automating inventory Control smoothes sales, cuts costs

Process Control Outlet (PCO) is a Baytown-based reseller of industrial electronics serving diverse customers with hundreds of SKUs from dozens of manufacturers. After 13 years without a formal inventory process, thousands of items on hand and limited accounting software meant sales reps had to walk the warehouse to verify stock, causing delays, stockouts and frustrated customers.

PCO implemented Wasp’s inventory management software and barcode scanners, quickly barcoded inventory and trained staff, giving reps instant on-desk visibility and monthly audit reconciliation. The system improved ordering and turnover tracking, eliminated stockouts, reduced inventory staff from two full-time + four part-time to one full-time + two part-time (saving about $680/week, >$35,000/year), cut inventory operating costs in half and paid for itself in the first month.
