otras actividades tenemos la visión a
corto plazo de establecernos como la
empresa líder en el sector de empaques

ser una empresa binacional con presencia
en Estados Unidos
anteriormente los procesos que
utilizábamos en almacén eran muy
rudimentarios para ingresos y egresos de
material utilizábamos lo que es el lápiz
y el papel posteriormente pasamos a
hojas de cálculo Pero esto no Fue
suficiente la problemática
principalmente fue el error humano en
las entradas salidas de material los
recibos las entregas la duplicidad de
productos básicamente en el control de
los inventarios a veces le mandábamos
material con números de parte
equivocados esto nos un gran conflicto
con los clientes grupo hazar cuenta con
una serie de soluciones que acompañan a
nuestros clientes a lo largo de toda la
cadena de suministro dentro de estas
soluciones está bloquea inventory la
cual implementó crupack esta solución
les permite el control de las entradas
las salidas y el inventario dentro de su
almacén el proceso de implementación No
fue fácil ya que se tuvo que ingresar
más de 2.000 tarimas al sistema pero con
ayuda de cebra y grupo hazard logramos
esto hemos optimizado la operación de
los cuatro almacenes en un 100%,
anteriormente no teníamos ese control se
ha reducido el error humano en un 80% ya
que la información se captura de manera
directa al sistema
aunado a esto han mejorado los tiempos
de entrega en un 86% también hemos
logrado el control de los inventarios en
un 72%
los beneficios que obtuvimos fueron
varios como la agilización en el almacén
para la salida de material dejamos de
cometer los errores a la hora de apuntar
ahora pues es más fácil con la terminal
ya la salida del material y el ingreso
Ya se nos facilita más actualmente se
simplificó el proceso con la terminal
tc21 ya que podemos escanear los códigos
del producto del material que ingresa y
egresa del almacén donde se ven
beneficiados desde los operadores
administrativos Pero principalmente el
cliente esto refleja un mayor
profesionalismo que puede atraer la
atención de nuevos prospectos y clientes
más pymes deberían de implementar
