Three ways you save when Atlantic manages your fasteners by bar coding
- Productivity increases as you no longer waste time ordering and maintaining fasteners.
- Inventories decrease as bar code scanning ends duplicate ordering and over-buying.
- Errors all but vanish because you no longer hand write orders or phone descriptions. And we're not entering orders into the computer manually.
How it works
- We bar code label all stocking locations. It's best if you stock at point-of-use to eliminate walking to and from your central stockroom. (See "Does walking cost you" below)
- We visit, according to your schedule, to maintain stock levels by bar code scanning.
- We download your orders directly into our computer, without manual input.
- We ship your packages clearly labeled by point-of-use destination so your receiving department can quickly forward them. Or, if you prefer, we restock your shelves for you.
- We send one bill monthly.
- We provide usage, fill rate and other management reports
by stocking location.

Does walking cost you $51,000 per year?
At a large New Hampshire manufacturer, 55 assembly workers used to leave their workstations and walk to the stockroom to replenish their fastener bins.
Then Atlantic proposed a better way.
We helped set up 7,193 point-of-use bins in 37 assembly areas and took over the maintenance of stock levels by bar code scanning.
The result – dramatically reduced search time that the company says saved $51,000 annually!
