FMCG Distribution. Shrinkage Down 62%

The Challenge

4,300 industrial assets across 70 locations. Manual audits costly and unreliable.

Permanent operational infrastructure.

The Solution

• Real-time visibility over assets
• 750+ audits completed with 99%+ accuracy
• Permanent operational infrastructure
• 99%+ sustained inventory accuracy over the full cycle.
• Per-site audit executed with a single handheld and a single operator.

Context

Consumer goods manufacturer with a network of plants distributed across Colombia. High-value industrial assets with critical controls for maintenance windows.

Approach

Diagnostic covered two plants with distinct profiles to validate the solution across operational diversity. The project advanced directly to Full Project in staged blocks, without an intermediate Bounded Deployment.

Architecture

Mass passive tagging by asset category · fixed readers at transit control points · per-site handheld for scheduled audit · automated reconciliation against ERP.

Implications

Continuous audit replaces the annual cycle when the infrastructure is permanent; total cost is comparable, the evidence is of another order.
