The manufacturer manages a stock of more than 500,000 items at two distribution centers: one in Campo Limpo Paulista (SP) and another in Navegantes (SC). There are 15 thousand active items and a total register of 60 thousand specifications. This large volume of products requires that the company maintain a very high level of control, which is why Leal sought out Totvs' RFID solution to track its merchandise.

"Our portfolio is quite diverse, including clothing, safety equipment such as gloves, and parachute belts, among others. And one line does not necessarily have to do with the other," says Adailton Siqueira, Leal's systems manager. "With a limited physical space, it happened that we lost items inside the warehouse and we ran the risk of making wrong deliveries." Increased inventory control with RFID enabled the company to better meet external audits.

"At receipt, we use the imported, manufactured or transfer products that were stored in the stock," Siqueira explains. "In shipping, we have already adopted it for billing."
