Digital Locker Solution
A digital locker solution designed to monitor and manage mobile warehousing assets
Project Summary
The Digital Locker Asset Management Solution is a web-based platform designed to manage the check-in/check-out process of mobile warehousing devices such as RF scanners, Android tablets, and iPads. This solution enables real-time tracking, provides overdue device alerts, and improves accountability across warehouse locations.
Problem & Objective
Warehousing teams lacked a reliable system to monitor mobile asset usage, leading to frequent device losses, untracked check-outs, and vendor chargebacks totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. The objective was to implement a scalable digital tracking solution to reduce losses, improve asset visibility, and automate accountability.
My Role
I managed the testing and deployment of the platform, led stakeholder alignment sessions to define device accountability workflows, and ensured that system rollouts adhered to security and compliance standards across multiple facilities.
Features
- Real-time device tracking
- Automated check-in/out logging
- Alert system for overdue devices
- User role-based permissions
- Data encryption at rest and in transit
- Daily usage reports
- Admin dashboard with visual analytics
- Integration with warehouse vendor systems
Results
The solution helped reduce vendor chargebacks due to lost devices by $400,000 annually. Warehouse operations became more efficient and device accountability significantly improved across the board. The solution was implemented across four distribution centers across the United States, with plans for further expansion.
Challenges
One of the main challenges was designing a system that could scale across multiple warehouses while maintaining consistent device usage logs and data security compliance. We also needed to integrate seamlessly with legacy systems without disrupting warehouse operations. The process involved significant collaboration with IT security teams to ensure all data was encrypted and access controls were properly enforced; legal teams were also embedded in the process to ensure compliance with data protection regulations; and operations teams were engaged to ensure the solution met their needs without adding complexity to existing workflows.
