Mobilizing "Secret" Inventory at Coca-Cola Consolidated

After watching the Coca-Cola polar bear commercials during the Super Bowl, it reminded me of our Coca-Cola Consolidated mobile application where we recently mobilized their “secret” inventory.  Our partner Energy4U was able to deploy Syclo’s mobile inventory management solution at Coca-Cola Consolidated, the largest independent bottler in North America, five sites in just eight weeks.

We all know and love Coke products but their recipe is a well-kept secret.  As part of keeping the secret, a new discreet labeling requirement changed how to receive and inventory the “secret sauce.”  All text was removed from the packaging where the only thing on the packaging was a barcode to identify.

Energy4U invested the time up-front learning their business processes where they understood how to handle the PART to KIT conversion.  This translated into simplifying their processes and improving productivity.  The new barcode standards were used while ensuring for a smooth integration with SAP systems.
