The Challenge
Imagine you are a pioneering company in the energy sector, deploying your expertise across a range of products and services, including electric charging stations. You can easily imagine that this represents a colossal inventory. This is exactly the case for Westenergie. This forward-thinking company needed an equally advanced and connected solution to manage its inventory digitally and efficiently.
The task: manage an entire range of equipment, from electric charging stations and their locations to digital panels, electric cars, air quality sensors, and a wide array of high-tech products and equipment.
The challenge was to catalog all these items to establish robust inventory management processes that allow Westenergie to easily manage, track, and document its equipment while keeping up with deadlines. In 2020, Westenergie set out to find an inventory management solution capable of meeting these needs… and discovered Timly.
The Solution
Since adopting Timly, Westenergie has implemented exemplary inventory management. It all began with cataloging their entire range of equipment. While this was a lengthy but necessary process, Timly’s stocktaking capabilities significantly streamlined it, making the process more efficient and drastically reducing the time required (similar to our client Panasonic, who reduced inventory time from several weeks to just a few days).
Once all assets were cataloged, Westenergie intelligently categorized them based on their nature and began actively documenting these assets. This documentation included essential details in their digital files: photos, deadlines, locations, serial numbers, and more. This step is crucial for a large-scale operation like Westenergie. Managing hundreds or even thousands of assets leaves no room for error; accessing all key information about any asset must be possible within a few clicks.
