Tex-Design (Kleverens: Warehouse 15)

2019: Labeled Inventory and Data Exchange with Cloverens Excel and CSV: Tex-Design Experience

Detailed description

Garment factories of the middle and large segment have long been operating in computer-aided design systems. But progress does not stop there. The next step is the introduction of an accounting system and the transition from manual labor to working with the product by barcodes.

Tex-Design is the largest manufacturer and supplier of exclusive 100% cotton padding fabric. The company offers its customers home textiles under the trademarks "Belissimo," "Bambino" "Royal Temptation" and fabrics for self-tailoring, which use imported dyes that are resistant to repeated washing.

"In addition to our own production, we sell finished products in the network of our retail stores. We keep records in '1C: Trade and Warehouse', almost completely rewritten according to our requirements. This imposed some limitations, and conventional scanners were no longer enough. Plus, since 2019, mandatory labeling has been introduced on our products. And the usual mechanism for conducting inventories on one-dimensional ShK has become irrelevant, "Nikolai Yezhemensky, head of the information and analytical department of Tex-Design, briefly spoke about the company's activities.

Tasks

The introduction of a system that will allow mobile accounting, instantly receive information about product balances and effectively plan purchases - "masthav" for any trading and production company. The necessary addition to such an "upgrade" is specialized software and data collection terminals. But automation optimizes the work of the enterprise in general and personnel in particular.

"We have 5 stores, warehouse, own production and nomenclature in several thousand items. It was long and labor-intensive to recalculate all goods manually. And since our 1C is not typical, the main task was not only to comply with the requirements of the "Honest SIGN" regarding labeling, but also to configure the exchange between the accounting system and mobile computers on files, "Nikolai said.

Decision

DataMatrix code is a small unique black and white graphic image that allows you to verify the authenticity of products. They are already marked with several product groups, the list of which is replenished every year. And apply a label, package or label.

"When the issue of textile labeling was raised, we began to look for a solution that would suit us in cost and functionality. We analyzed the market for business process automation software and almost immediately purchased 28 licenses of Warehouse 15 from Cloverens. I myself installed software - nothing complicated: the instructions for downloading and unloading on the developer's website are very understandable. Integration and launch took about 2 weeks. Exchange with 1C was configured via xls/csv. Questions about the operation of the software periodically arise, but they are helped by Cloverens technical support specialists. Although sometimes we ourselves cope with the settings faster, "- the head of the information and analytical department of Tex-Design.

data Urovo Tex-Design representatives liked the V5100 collection terminals for their simplicity. At the moment, only the "Collection" operation is used, barcodes then - the case for the accounting system. At the time of the launch of the project, this was the fastest option

"We exchange data between 1C and TSD both via cable - in stores, and via wi-fi - in a warehouse. We sent 1 terminal to retail outlets, because it was necessary to start automated acceptance and shipment and carry out inventories as soon as possible, "the head of the Tex-Design information and analytical department shared the nuances of the work at the moment.

Results

The Excel and CSV exchange utility in Kleverens software products allows you to convert documents from several formats into one - understandable to the terminal. Any invoice or order can be downloaded to a mobile device as a fulfillment task. Or download the completed document and convert back to the desired format.

"Thanks to 'Cloverens', DataMatrix accounting no longer looks like something scary and complex. Employees are not tied to a PC, all information about the product is visible on the shipping documentation screen immediately after scanning the ShK. And the beauty of exchanging through xls/csv is that the data can be unloaded into any working system, "Nikolai Yezhemensky summed up.
