Having implemented NetSuite previously, Midwest Equipment (MWE) faced mobility gaps in their warehouse operations. The initial mobile warehouse solution they chose eliminated the need for paper pick slips and manual data entry into NetSuite. However, the service and support for this solution deteriorated over time, leading to stability and connectivity issues. Transactions would take up to 15 minutes to reflect in NetSuite, and the system would often time out, requiring redoing of transactions. Additionally, MWE experienced login issues and difficulties with customizations, making the solution frustrating to use.

This commitment to excellence has allowed MWE to thrive in a highly competitive market. As the company expanded from a 40,000 square foot facility to one over 200,000 square feet, they needed advanced technology to support their growth initiatives and maintain their high standards of service.

MWE decided to switch to RF-SMART after hearing about its dependability and superior functionality from another company. RF-SMART was chosen for its performance, usability, and excellent service and support. The solution provided faster transaction updates in NetSuite, eliminating the delays and timeouts experienced with the previous system. RF-SMART's straightforward prompts on handheld devices reduced errors and reliance on tacit knowledge of warehouse staff. The solution also offered functionalities like item look-up and cycle counting, which were not available in the previous system, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy in the warehouse.
