One of the largest and most respected distributors of fertilizers soy, seeds and agricultural products in Brazil, required the support of RGIS. The company has more than 45 stores, six fertilizer factories, a soybean seed processing unit and an animal nutrition factory spread, across eight states of Brazil.
THE CHALLENGE
The agricultural fertiliser and product distributor chose RGIS because of the technical knowledge that RGIS demonstrated through Project Managers, the RGIS technology and RGIS’ reach across Brazil. The distributor required RGIS to provide the following service:
- Experience of similar environments and successfully implemented projects
- General organisation and inventory of all stock in stores, distribution centres and factories
- Development and generation of location labels
- Identify and locate all materials
- Complete a topographic inventory in the fertiliser factories of bulk products in 105 silos
- Provide accurate reports including an item registration management system for the Management to be able to make informed decisions
Sectors
Why RGIS?
RGIS teams met with the distributor to go through current processes and to establish a detailed project plan.
Our Solutions
The agricultural fertiliser and product distributor partnered with RGIS to complete the topographic inventory project, and RGIS provided the following:
Scheduled teams of 15 experienced RGIS auditors per location to conduct a physical inventory of all items in stock with barcodes
Teams organised all stock in stores, distribution centres and factories
A topographical audit using specialised laser scanners produced a cloud of points that reproduced the scanned objects in the fertiliser factories
Solution through the AppSheet tool – development of an application for product identification and barcode generation
Results
The agricultural fertilizer and product distributor found by outsourcing the topographic inventory project to RGIS, the following results were achieved:
Teams accurately inventoried 45,000 SKUs at all locations requested by the customer, in stores and distribution centres without any loss in production
Completed topographic inventories of all fertiliser factories, producing very detailed reports showing density, total area, total volume and total weight using drone technology
RGIS teams improved inventory accuracy to 99.8%
Conclusion
With the implementation of the project by RGIS, the customer now had total control of stock and was able to eliminate losses that reached BRL 30 MI during the year. The customer was very satisfied with the project results provided and will continue to use RGIS for futures services.
