Summary
Heebie Jeebies noticed multiple errors in accounts and stock levels due to double-entry and needed a solution that would reduce errors and improve accuracy. Datapel Cloud.WMS was implemented very quickly and they saw instant savings in labour by eliminating double entry as well as improved efficiency in their warehouse. Ultimately it increased turnover by 4-5 times with the same number of staff they had before implementation.
Heebie Jeebies Challenges and issues
Heebie Jeebies relied heavily on data entry between their MYOB accounting system and freight system. However, their paper-based operation was error-prone due to multiple points of data entry and manual picking methods. With these errors holding back the business and causing delays, it became necessary to modernise their operation. After Datapel assessed all aspects of their daily flow, implementation was done before their Trade Show season started with the main focus of streamlining their ordering process by integrating with MYOB.
With Datapel we have managed to quadruple in size and keep the same core team – it just delivers the efficiency we need to keep growing.
Solution and implementation
Datapel Cloud.WMS was implemented and integrated with their MYOB accounting system to eliminate double entry and control picking. A few months later scanning was introduced to further eliminate errors and streamline the entire warehouse process from sales to shipping. Heebie Jeebies managed to quadruple in size without needing to employ more staff.
