VITEL mejora la eficiencia del almacén con las etiquetas electrónicas Effirox

Background

VITEL is a leading energy solutions provider in Chile, specializing in solar equipment, batteries, and energy storage systems. With a large distribution warehouse in Santiago, VITEL manages thousands of SKUs, requiring precise inventory tracking and real-time pricing updates. As the company expanded, its reliance on traditional paper labels became a bottleneck—slowing operations, increasing errors, and hindering responsiveness to market changes. To modernize its warehouse management, VITEL partnered with Effirox Technology to implement Effirox Electronic Shelf Labels, a digital pricing and inventory solution designed for high-efficiency logistics.

Challenges

Before adopting Effirox ESLs, VITEL faced critical operational hurdles:

1. Time-Consuming Manual Updates: Warehouse staff wasted hours each day updating paper labels for stock movements and price adjustments.
2. Inventory Mismanagement: Mislabeled items led to shipping errors, delayed orders, and frustrated customers.
3. Lack of Real-Time Synchronization: Price changes from suppliers or promotions weren’t immediately reflected, causing revenue loss.
4. Harsh Warehouse Conditions: Paper labels faded, tore, or became unreadable in high-traffic storage areas.

Solution

Effirox deployed a rugged, wireless ESL system tailored for industrial environments, featuring:

• 2.13-inch E-Ink Displays: Clear visibility even in low-light warehouse zones.
• Seamless ERP Integration: Automatic sync with VITEL’s inventory management system for real-time stock and price accuracy.
• Shockproof & Dust-Resistant Design: Built to withstand Chile’s humid climate and warehouse handling.
• Remote Batch Updates: Managers adjust pricing, promotions, or product details across the entire warehouse in seconds via Effirox’s cloud platform.

Results

Since implementing Effirox ESLs, VITEL has achieved significant improvements:
✅ 70% Faster Label Updates: Price and inventory changes now take seconds instead of hours, boosting productivity.
✅ 98% Reduction in Labeling Errors: Accurate digital displays eliminated mislabeled shipments and costly returns.
✅ 20% Improvement in Order Fulfillment Speed: Real-time data sync reduced delays, enhancing customer satisfaction.
✅ Annual Cost Savings of $9,000: Cut labor, printing, and error-related expenses, achieving ROI in under 24 months.
✅ Future-Proof Scalability: The system supports VITEL’s expansion plans, including new warehouses across Latin America.

“Effirox ESLs revolutionized our warehouse operations. We now have full control over inventory visibility and pricing agility,” said Carlos Mendez, VITEL’s Logistics Director.

By embracing Effirox’s smart labeling technology, VITEL has set a new benchmark for efficiency in Chile’s energy sector—proving that digital transformation drives both accuracy and profitability.
