Remote IoT Location Management

Promote efficiency in product replenishment operations.

Without actually visiting the site, it was necessary to load vehicles with more products than needed because the required types and quantities of replenishment items were unknown. By sharing inventory levels between replenishment staff and route sales representatives in advance, we successfully reduced the frequency of visits for inventory checks and also managed to decrease the amount of product loaded onto vehicles.

With the vehicle inventory management feature, it is possible to track the number of replenishments/pull-outs made.
To accommodate cases where there are direct requests to replenish a few extra items or to pull out specific products on-site, we have implemented a vehicle inventory function. Apart from the shipping instructions, it allows us to track the actual numbers of items replenished and pulled out.

Customization Success Stories

  • Would it be possible to check the status of the installed refrigerators remotely?
  • Is it feasible to install electronic shelf labels to enable receiving orders from the local site?

ー Customization Details ー

アプリ画像
Wants: We would like to know the status of the installed refrigerators remotely.

Customize:We customized the system to track temperature and other conditions using IoT sensors, enabling continuous monitoring. This includes monitoring humidity and temperature within the refrigerators, as well as tracking door opening frequency, all integrated into a management dashboard.

Success!:
Now that our customers have access to information about which areas' refrigerators are being frequently/infrequently used, they can effectively make additional product suggestions and propose the expansion of installed equipment.
アプリ画像
Wants: We want to install electronic shelf labels to enable on-site ordering.

Customize:We developed a smartphone ordering app that is activated by NFC embedded in electronic shelf labels, allowing orders to be placed from smartphones. The number of orders from smartphones is then reflected in the shipping instruction data. Additionally, we displayed the company's inventory status on the electronic shelf labels. To ensure that orders cannot be placed by unauthorized users, we implemented a password requirement when launching the smartphone app.

Success!:
By simply scanning their smartphones on the shelf label of the respective product, users can complete the ordering process. This has led to a reduction in tasks for both users and replenishment staff.
