INTRODUCTION

Streamlining Inventory Management

As a rapidly growing personal care brand, DUDE Wipes aims to maintain a small but productive team while continuing to expand its market presence. Managing their complex inventory across multiple suppliers and purchase orders became a significant challenge. With numerous manual processes in place, including frequent updates and tracking in reports, the team recognized the need for a more efficient approach to ensure they could keep up with demand and uphold their operational effectiveness.

To address these challenges, DUDE Wipes turned to Begin Software for an automation solution that would transform their inventory management. Leveraging Begin Software's automation expertise, they streamlined the integration of on-hand inventory data and purchase orders, optimizing their logistics operations. By automating the generation of the Flush Report—a comprehensive report that consolidates inventory data to provide a clear view of stock levels—and enhancing other key workflows, DUDE Wipes gained improved visibility into their inventory and future stock needs, enabling them to make informed, timely decisions that support their growth objectives.

To elevate their inventory management, DUDE Wipes enlisted Begin to create tailored automations that efficiently processed and organized key inventory and purchase order data. These automations ensured accurate and timely reports by cleaning up On-Hand Inventory and POs, and generating a comprehensive Flush Report with the relevant data. This streamlined approach gave DUDE Wipes greater control over their inventory, minimized errors, and improved the overall efficiency of their reporting process.

OUR PROCESS
1. Inventory Data Cleanup
How it works: We received DUDE Wipes' inventory and purchase order data as an Excel spreadsheet, then built an automation that validated, sanitized, and processed
the information. The automation ensured consistency by checking for common issues like formatting errors and discrepancies. If any issues were detected, the system flagged them for review, allowing DUDE Wipes to maintain clean and accurate data for further processing.

Why it matters: Many businesses rely heavily on spreadsheets for manual tracking, which increases the risk of human error. By automating the cleanup of their inventory data, DUDE Wipes dramatically reduced errors and manual labor. This not only ensured more reliable data but also freed up their team to focus on higher-value tasks.
2. Flush Report Generation
How it works: After the inventory data was cleaned and validated, our automation parsed the Excel data, compared upcoming purchase orders with on-hand and scheduled inventory, and generated a comprehensive logistics report. The Flush Report provided a clear picture of inventory movement, including what's on track to arrive and when.

Why it matters: Automating the generation of the Flush Report turned a previously manual, time-consuming task into an efficient, reliable process. With clear, up-to-date insights into their inventory and logistics, DUDE Wipes could make faster and more informed decisions, streamlining their operations and improving supply chain visibility.
