Challenge
Warehouse management is notoriously difficult: thousands of tools are checked out and returned on a daily basis by just as many employees, making inventory management and previsions of replacements, repairs and purchases a constant challenge for industrial contractors such as Kraftanlagen, a division of Bouygues Energies & Services.
Innovative Solution
Kraftanlagen’s Digital Transformation team partnered with our Burghausen warehouse managers to design and deploy a new management tool. Their choice was a combination of barcode identification applied to all tools and machinery available in the warehouse, combined with a mobile application available to employees and used to check items out and later on return them, either to Burghausen or to another warehouse or construction site in the vicinity.
Client and User Benefits
Our Kraftanlagen team has recorded considerable improvements in the warehouse management process:
- Lower percentage of losses and replacements required
- Higher utilisation rates for tools and machinery
- Better traceability across a large geographical area and several projects
