Sydkystens Automatik gained control of its materials with Apport and Minuba

When the working day involves multiple projects, deliveries and materials, having a clear overview is essential. At Sydkystens Automatik in Køge, which builds control panels and automation solutions for business customers across Denmark, it became clear that manual inventory management could no longer keep pace with the company’s growth. Stocktakes took days, inventory counts were inaccurate, and it was difficult to know exactly what was on the shelves.

Two systems, one flow

A simple system for a complex workday

As the company took on more projects, the need for a simple and user-friendly inventory solution became increasingly clear. Lars Busk and his team needed better control of materials and tools without spending more time on administration. They therefore chose Apport WMS to digitalise their inventory management.

Apport WMS is fully integrated with Minuba, which Sydkystens Automatik was already using for quotations, jobs, time registration and invoicing. When an employee registers materials in Minuba, the inventory is automatically updated in Apport, ensuring that stock levels remain accurate.

“Apport and Minuba work perfectly together. You pull data from Minuba into Apport, and it all happens automatically. We hardly notice it - and that’s exactly the point.”

Trust in the numbers

More structure, fewer errors

At Sydkystens Automatik, Apport WMS has made inventory management much simpler. Stock data is continuously updated, giving the company a reliable overview of its inventory. This saves time, reduces errors and makes day-to-day operations easier.

“We wanted to reduce waste. It’s not about mistrust, but about being able to track the flow of materials and ensure everything is registered as it should be. In the past, some items might leave the warehouse without being invoiced. Now, we can see exactly where they are in the system and make sure everything is accounted for.”

Lars Busk, Sydkystens Automatik

Previously, ensuring that all materials were registered and invoiced correctly was a challenge. Today, Apport and Minuba ensure that stock levels, consumption and invoicing are aligned. The system also provides an accurate view of the value of the company’s inventory and helps the business operate more efficiently.

From manual stocktakes to continuous insight

One of the biggest changes at Sydkystens Automatik is that the inventory is now always up to date. Previously, a full stocktake was carried out only once a year and took several days to complete. Today, the value of the inventory can be viewed in real time, with the latest information always readily available.

“Stocktaking used to be a huge drain on time and resources. We’d have several people counting for several days, and even then, it was hard to know if the numbers were right. That’s no longer the case - now we always have full visibility.”

If an area needs to be checked, it can now be done in a matter of minutes. This means the company can react quickly when materials are needed, even outside normal working hours. If a customer calls on a Friday evening, Lars can log in and immediately see whether the required items are in stock.

Instead of relying on manual counts and estimates of stock levels, the team can now make decisions based on up-to-date data. This has made day-to-day work faster and planning much easier.

Flexible warehouse management

A solution that provides control and flexibility

For Sydkystens Automatik, it was important that the inventory management system was intuitive and easy to use. The company previously used a system where any changes had to go through the supplier. With Apport WMS, the team can manage the inventory themselves, adjust stock levels and adapt the setup as required.

This provides greater flexibility in day-to-day operations and makes it easier to adapt inventory management as the business develops. At the same time, the solution is straightforward to work with and can evolve as the company’s needs change.

An inventory that practically runs itself

Visibility, efficiency and peace of mind

For Sydkystens Automatik, inventory management is no longer about counting screws and components. It is about freeing up time for the work that really matters. With Apport WMS and Minuba, the company has created a more streamlined way of working, with smoother processes throughout the day.

The team saves time, avoids errors and has a much clearer overview of its inventory. At the same time, the integration between Apport WMS and Minuba ensures that inventory data is continuously kept up to date.

With Apport WMS, Sydkystens Automatik has a simple and user-friendly solution that provides greater visibility, control and more efficient inventory management in its day-to-day operations.
