Antalis’ easystock is a cutting edge service designed to optimise inventory management and automate orders for frequently used products for sign makers and commercial printers. This fully integrated service streamlines inventory management, enhances cost efficiency, saves time, improves product availability, and boosts customer satisfaction.
Karl Hunter, managing director of HFE Signs, Burton Upon Trent, explains how this has revolutionised inventory management for his business. He said, ‘easystock eliminates human error, and we end up only paying for what we have used. We have total trust in the automated system, knowing that all deliveries will be managed by Antalis’ superb logistics system.’
easystock automates the management of high turnover items, typically those ordered at least twice a month. It focuses on critical products essential to businesses and their customers, ensuring seamless service with no stock delays. Ideal for managing 10 to 30 items, easystock encompasses all Antalis products, including papers, envelopes, packaging materials, visual communication supplies and films.
The application scrutinises inventory levels daily and schedules restocking the moment an item's stock reaches a predefined minimum. Once triggered, restocking replenishes items to their maximum levels, eliminating wait times, errors, and manual intervention. easystock significantly reduces inventory, freeing up resources.
While easystock is fully automated, it offers manual override options for flexibility in handling specific demands and unforeseen situations.
The service integrates seamlessly into business operations, allowing inventory management through a web account specifically configured for each company, accessible via mobile devices. Customers can work with Antalis to define a list of frequently needed products and set minimum and maximum inventory levels.
Karl concluded, ‘easystock has eliminated stock issues and given us much more flexibility, even with sizeable jobs. It automates repetitive order flows and optimises inventory levels, allowing us to save valuable time and focus on other production tasks. In my experience, there are no disadvantages with the easystock service, and it is a win-win all the way!’
