The electronics supplier Lacroix Electronics has optimized its inventory process with the help of Remira. This is stated in a press release from the IT provider. Due to internal changes in the IT infrastructure, the inventory could suddenly no longer be carried out in the usual form, putting the company under enormous pressure to act. Therefore, the company switched to Remira's cloud solution for sample inventory.
"The service inventory solution was excellent given our initial situation and the tight timeframe," says Ingo Kaufmann, Manager Business Administration at Lacroix Electronics, while his colleague Jörg Henn, Warehouse Manager at Lacroix Electronics, adds:
"Remira supported us superbly - the team was
always reachable, and the entire process was designed to be comprehensible and understandable even for non-IT people."
With the goal of taking over the inventory process again in the following year and long-term transitioning to a web-based sample inventory software, the company decided to permanently use their cloud solution after this first successful project with Remira.
Inventory within a day
Since 2024, Lacroix Electronics has been conducting inventory at its main warehouse in Willich using the Remira solution and has significantly reduced the process effort according to their own statements. The number of items to be counted has been reduced by approximately 40 percent, allowing the entire inventory
to be completed within a day, says Remira.
The process is intuitive: With the connection to the implemented ERP system, all necessary data is available and seamlessly passed on to the Remira software. This software defines the samples to be counted and automatically generates the associated count lists on request. Using these, the counting teams capture the corresponding items, while the data is then read back into the system via CSV file and evaluated.
"With our old system, we were highly dependent on IT and third parties - especially when it came to providing the count lists and data exchange. This significantly delayed the process," recalls Henn. "Thanks
to Remira, this is a thing of the past, and we achieve great advantages in terms of time. It is truly a huge step forward compared to before."
In addition, the company appreciates the clear structure of the Remira software and the intuitive guidance throughout the entire process.
"The solution provides very good support at all times and guides the user through the individual steps with pop-ups and explanatory info-bubbles. This is commendably noteworthy," says Henn.
Another added value for Lacroix, according to their own statement, is that all inventory histories and data are centrally stored in the software, allowing them to be viewed and compared even years
