Streamlining Equipment and Chemical Management: Traka's Success with KIT
Traka, a leader in intelligent management solutions for keys and equipment, faced the challenge of managing an expanding inventory of tools and hazardous chemicals.
With manual processes, including spreadsheets for tracking calibration schedules and chemical safety data sheets, proving to be time-intensive and prone to errors as the business grew.
Seeking an efficient and secure system, Traka implemented KIT to address these needs. This case study explores how KIT transformed their equipment and chemical management processes.
Key Challenges and Solutions
KIT enabled Traka to overcome several operational challenges:
- Chemical Management (COSHH): Traka leveraged KIT's digital system to improve safety and reduce on-site chemical quantities by digitizing Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and marking them with QR codes.
- Calibration Management: Moving from spreadsheets to KIT automated Traka's calibration schedules, reducing errors and enhancing accountability with automated email prompts and dynamic reporting.
- Uncontrolled Purchases: By assigning unique identifiers to each item, KIT helped Traka prevent unauthorised equipment purchases, streamlining inventory control.
Why Traka Chose KIT
KIT's user-friendly interface, cost-effectiveness, and the flexibility to grow with Traka's needs made it the ideal solution. Unlike previous systems that fell short on service and value, KIT delivered reliable support and an intuitive setup that impressed both internal teams and external stakeholders.
Results and Impact
Since implementing KIT, Traka has reported significant improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and calibration accuracy. As Nigel Chappell, Traka's Senior Quality Engineer, expressed, "Moving from spreadsheets to a KIT system has revolutionized our operations."
