RF Optimization & WMS Performance Enhancement for a U.S. Industrial Services Leader
Industry Overview
A leading U.S. provider in Commercial & Industrial Machinery Maintenance, specializing in on-site hydraulic hose repair and industrial service operations. With 150+ service & supply centers across the United States, their operations rely heavily on efficient warehouse processes, accurate inventory data, and seamless RF-driven workflows.
Challenge
The client faced significant inefficiencies across their RF and WMS ecosystem:
Operational Bottlenecks
- RF navigation was slow due to missing scroll options, unclear prompts, and redundant screens.
- Item, LP, and reason-code inconsistencies caused frequent errors in receiving, picking, cycle counts, and hose-cutting workflows.
- Pre-packing logic and master LP visibility issues led to operational confusion.
UI & Data Integrity Issues
- HighJump WebWise pages lacked clarity, had incorrect labels, and
inconsistent hold/release logic across tables. - Location filtering and inbound process flows had redundant or incorrect validation steps.
Database Performance Gaps
- Stored procedures were not optimized (missing NOLOCK, redundant logic,
inefficient joins). - High-traffic areas—replenishment, receiving, picking—experienced
performance slowdowns.
What Tychons Delivered
Tychons conducted a comprehensive RF, UI, and database assessment, identifying tactical and strategic improvements across the system.
- Added missing RF scroll navigation and corrected unclear/verbiage-laden
prompts. - Improved LP handling logic and provided visibility for master LP
suggestions. - Refined cycle count workflows with zone/item/LP-based options.
- Standardized hold/release logic across all inventory tables.
- Enhanced inbound workflows, including shipment closure recommendations.
