MCI JIT, an automotive parts distributor established in 2017, relied heavily on manual processes to manage its consumable inventory. Warehouse staff printed spreadsheets from a local database to guide daily activities. This approach slowed operations, made real-time inventory tracking impossible, and left teams vulnerable to stock discrepancies and fulfillment errors.
Barrier and Impact
The biggest barrier was the lack of a fully integrated, mobile-enabled inventory process. This lack of integrated, real-time system created major operational bottlenecks:
Static data – Printed spreadsheets couldn’t keep pace with fast-moving inventory changes.
Inefficient workflows – Staff had to walk back and forth between the warehouse floor and office to verify counts, which wasted time and caused inefficiencies.
Limited visibility – This created blind spots in inventory visibility, leading to potential order delays, difficulty pinpointing stock discrepancies, and reduced accountability for parts usage.
Scalability challenges – The manual tracking made it difficult to expand operations or onboard new staff efficiently.
The Solution
MCI partnered with DecisionPoint to implement the IntelliTrack® Consumables Bundle, replacing manual tracking with a centralized, always-updated digital platform for tracking parts.
Key improvements included:
Real-time inventory visibility into consumable stock levels across the warehouse for faster decision-making.
Accurate usage tracking to align outgoing orders with available inventory.
Seamless scalability with a clear path toward adopting IntelliTrack® Mobile for future on-floor management.
The system immediately empowered staff to work more efficiently, eliminate guesswork, and make informed decisions faster.
The Outcome
After deployment, MCI saw rapid, measurable results:
Increased accuracy and efficiency in consumable inventory management.
Greater accountability in tracking stock levels and usage.
Positive internal adoption, with the lead user becoming a proactive advocate, providing valuable feedback for ongoing IntelliTrack® enhancements.
With IntelliTrack®, MCI now operates with greater confidence and control, transforming its warehouse from a reactive environment into a data-driven operation built for growth. Their transformation sets a strong example of how small-to-medium distributors can modernize processes with IntelliTrack®.
Key Takeaway
Modernizing doesn’t require massive infrastructure changes. Even small and mid-sized distributors can achieve enterprise-level efficiency by replacing outdated manual workflows with IntelliTrack’s real-time inventory management. The result is faster fulfillment, fewer errors, and a more agile supply chain—without the need for costly, complex systems.
