\"House-Hasson-Uses-AccuSpeechMobile\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Knoxville, Tenn.-based hardware distributor House-Hasson Hardware is stepping up its automation, introducing a hands-free, pick-to-voice system in its warehouse, and a time-saving order verification system at the stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is the profitability of our more than 2,000 dealers,\u201d said Don Hasson, president of House-Hasson Hardware. \u201cThese technological advancements make our service to them faster, enables them to better serve their customers, and reduces costs throughout our system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile computers and headsets in House-Hasson Hardware\u2019s corporate headquarters warehouse and upgraded electronic scanners for the company\u2019s independent hardware store and lumberyard dealers will enable 20% faster response to dealer orders and speed dealers\u2019 ability to get items on shelves, the company said.
Inside the company\u2019s 450,000-square-foot warehouse, the new AccuSpeechMobile, a voice-directed locator system will sends House-Hasson \u201cpickers\u201d throughout the facility to collect items on customers\u2019 orders. The hands-free system is a big improvement over the previous method, which had employees using hand-held scanners with small screens they would read as items were scanned and included on customers\u2019 orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AccuSpeechMobile system eliminates the scanner, leaves employees\u2019 hands free, speeds their ability to move from one warehouse location to the next, and reduces the possibility of the wrong item or quantity being placed in the order. Some 50 employees are being trained on the system, which will take about a month to have fully in place. The company\u2019s second distribution center is located in Prichard, W.Va., which is not equipped with AccuSpeechMobile, but might be in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the delivery end of the business, an improved CipherLab system speeds up verification. \u201cUntil now it might take a dealer a whole day for order check-in and verification,\u201d Hasson said. \u201cNow, with the improved CipherLab system, it\u2019s much faster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasson said that the previous system had boxes containing orders arriving at dealers\u2019 stores with a list of what was in each box, an invoice, price stickers, and a chronological list of the entire order starting with box No. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach box might have 20 to 50 items \u2013 with some dealers receiving up to 800 items per week,\u201d Hasson said. \u201cIt required a manual check-in process by the dealer, who checked off the items in each box to confirm the correct items and quantity were received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the CipherLab it doesn\u2019t matter what box is opened first,\u201d he added. \u201cDealers scan the item barcode and the CipherLab displays how many were ordered, identifies what\u2019s received, and matches it automatically with the invoice. The CipherLab recaps the entire order and confirms for the dealer the order\u2019s accuracy or if there is, for any reason, a discrepancy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said House-Hasson\u2019s October 2017 dealer market was the new CipherLab technology\u2019s unveiling to owners. Cost of the improved system is $5 per month on a typical bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very inexpensive way to get a great deal more efficiency,\u201d said Steve Henry, House-Hasson executive vice president. \u201cThen the time saved is compared to the cost, we\u2019re confident dealers will be very pleased with this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
