How LAPP Increased Warehouse Inventory Counting By 13x

How drones transformed LAPP’s inventory process in 30 days

Jason Beltran was drowning in cable reels.

As Warehouse Manager of LAPP's newly consolidated 134,000 square foot Indiana facility, he watched his team scramble every weekend, throwing five people at cycle counts that never seemed to end. In a 40-person warehouse, that meant 12.5% of his workforce was walking racks with RF scanners, trying desperately to count inventory twice a year.

They were failing.

Today, that same warehouse counts its entire inventory 26 times per year – 13x more than before – with just 2 people managing the process. Weekend overtime for counting is gone. Inventory accuracy is up. Labor costs are down 60%.

This is exactly how LAPP fixed their inventory problem in 30 days – including the mistakes that will save warehouse managers weeks of headaches.
