Background

SENCO is a global leader in fastening solutions, known for manufacturing high-quality fasteners and power fastening tools used across construction, woodworking, and industrial markets. With a strong U.S. manufacturing footprint and decades of product innovation, the company relies heavily on efficient, accurate warehouse operations to support customer demand.

Business Challenge

As the company prepared for a scheduled tech refresh and JD Edwards upgrade, SENCO learned that their existing RfSmart solution was also due for a costly upgrade. Rather than reinvesting, SENCO saw an opportunity to reassess their warehouse technology and move to a more flexible, cost-effective solution.

Because warehouse operations are central to fulfilling customer demand, the business needed a modern scanning platform that would improve accuracy and efficiency while minimizing project risk. Scanability offered the ability to align seamlessly with their JD Edwards environment without the escalating costs associated with upgrading RfSmart, making it the ideal choice for modernization.

A Complete Scanability Implementation Across Warehouse Workflows

ERP Suites partnered with SENCO to design and deploy a comprehensive Scanability solution that modernized warehouse operations while maintaining continuity for end users. To minimize disruption and mitigate risk, the implementation followed a like-for-like approach, replicating key RfSmart workflows while leveraging Scanability’s flexibility, stability, and lower cost of ownership.

Working closely with warehouse leaders and end users, ERP Suites configured and deployed Scanability across all critical warehouse processes. There were 18 flows successfully implemented and placed into production.

To support adoption, ERP Suites provided training as each flow was delivered, ensuring warehouse teams could begin using Scanability immediately and confidently. SENCO also benefited from updated process documentation, something they lacked previously, which strengthened internal knowledge and prepared the business for future onboarding.

Proven Results and a Foundation for Growth

SENCO realized immediate value from the Scanability implementation. The new scanning workflows improved accuracy in picking, receiving, and packing, while providing real-time visibility into inventory and order status. Warehouse throughput increased, labeling became more consistent, and the platform delivered the stability SENCO needed to support day-to-day operations.

Stakeholders and end users expressed strong satisfaction with the implementation. They emphasized:
  • The speed from design to delivery,
  • The stability of the new platform, and
  • The smooth transition away from RfSmart without operational disruption.

The success of Scanability reinforced SENCO’s confidence in ERP Suites as a long-term partner. With the core Scanability flows fully deployed, SENCO is positioned to expand automation, improve reporting, and integrate additional warehouse capabilities. The successful migration away from RfSmart, combined with user satisfaction and system stability, sets the stage for continued operational improvement across the organization.
