Warehouse and inventory management is at the heart of business operations across industries like distribution, manufacturing, retail and healthcare.
Yet, many businesses still rely on manual processes that are prone to errors, inefficiencies and operational delays. Automated inventory management solutions can help address these issues, as inaccurate stock counts and shipping delays can directly impact a company’s bottom line and customer satisfaction.
The Solution: Inventory Automation
To address these challenges, businesses are increasingly turning to inventory automation solutions. One such solution we explored at SuiteWorld this year is RF-SMART, a barcode inventory management and scanning tool that integrates seamlessly with NetSuite to optimize tasks such as picking, receiving and shipping. This allows for real-time visibility and control over inventory processes.
RF-SMART, a strategic partner we’ve worked with in the past, introduced new capabilities at SuiteWorld, including an LTL shipping solution that automates carrier selection based on predefined business rules. Users can access multiple carriers, review live rates, and instantly print Bill of Lading (BOL) and pallet labels, all from NetSuite. This feature helps reduce manual data entry, improve shipping accuracy, and speed up the process—an area where many businesses face significant bottlenecks.
For companies looking to maximize their efficiency, integrating automated inventory management with their ERP system is essential. This integration enhances decision-making capabilities by providing comprehensive insights into inventory trends and demands. Ultimately, this integration supports better resource allocation, improves customer satisfaction through timely order fulfillment, and drives overall operational efficiency.
Successful automation relies on having efficient inventory processes and strong foundational practices in place. Explore more on the people and processes behind inventory management that support effective ERP integration.
