Freedom Finishing, located in Michigan, provides high-quality industrial powder coating and electrocoating. The company, which opened up shop 30 years ago, works with customers all over the United States in a variety of industries, including those in the automotive, military, furniture and medical sectors. The company employs over 60 people and prides itself on ultra-fast order fulfillment, attention to detail and earth-friendly policies.
Freedom Finishing offers a 24-hour turnaround time to some of its biggest clients. Running out of, well, anything can completely derail the company’s business model.
Freedom Finishing’s senior e-coat tech and head of maintenance, Alex Wolford, works tirelessly to keep track of every little thing that happens inside of the company’s 60,000 square foot shop. He keeps tabs on chemicals and spare parts and makes sure anything that breaks gets fixed ASAP.
In the past, Freedom Finishing relied on old-fashioned pen and paper to keep track of every last detail. One of the problems the company encounters when their inventory failed them? Forced shutdowns.
Other inventory-related problems included:
Alex was eager to find an inventory system that would avoid problems like these, save him time and save the company money.
Alex found Sortly by searching for inventory management apps.
His favorite Sortly features include:
Sortly is helping keep Freedom Finishing’s employees safe, too. Alex smartly began storing safety information about chemicals and products within the app.
Alex reports that he used to spend half of his workday locating items for employees and managing Freedom Finishing’s inventory. He can answer questions in a moment’s notice, and there’s no lingering fear that he’s forgotten to order one product or check quantities on another. Everything is under control.
