Topiderm Manufacturing

Topiderm was struggling with inventory management and accuracy, often having to shut down for 14 days to physically count inventory every year. That is a lot of downtime at year-end.

With WiSys, Topiderm’s physical inventory count went from 14 days to 1.5 days. They also decreased the number of people required for an inventory count by half. They now have near-perfect accuracy and inventory process has never been more efficient.

In 2012, Topiderm implemented WiSys for warehouse management and production using POP. Over the years, Topiderm expanded its capabilities by incorporating picking, packing, and shipping functionalities, followed by pallet management. In 2022, the WiSys packaging layer was added, and most recently, Agility Shipping was integrated. Today, Topiderm boasts 46 WiSys device licenses for handheld scanners and twenty desktop seats, ensuring their team operates with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Inventory management is a major task for us, often requiring a day and a half of downtime at year-end. Handheld scanners expedite this process, making it hard to imagine meeting deadlines without them. With WiSys, our physical inventory count went from 14 days to 1.5 days. We also decreased the number of people required for an inventory count by half. We now have near-perfect accuracy, a stark contrast to our previous struggles. Our inventory process has never been more efficient. The time saved on inventory counting alone justifies our investment in WiSys.

The WiSys system ensures you only receive items listed on the PO and eliminates shipping errors with advanced handheld scanners. If you try to ship 1000 units instead of 100, the scanner alerts you immediately. This maintains operational consistency and data accuracy. By using WiSys, you can track everything in real-time, ensuring precise inventory counts. In emergencies, you know exactly what’s in the warehouse and can track outgoing items, essential for disaster preparedness and inventory management.

With WiSys, I can equip my employees with an intuitive tool that is easy to use: just scan items and add a few details. This reduces turnover, lowers the need for experienced staff, cuts operational costs, and boosts efficiency. Tasks are completed quickly with just a scan.
