With a container receiving process that once required a minimum of two people only for data entry process while involving numerous handwritten notes and double entries, CATSPORTS was eager to eliminate manual processes and enhance the efficiency and accuracy of their warehouse operations.
Since implementing Mobile WMS, their warehouse labor has become significantly more efficient—lowering labor in the reception area to one person, cutting inventory time in half, and reducing unnecessary staff movement by 80%.

With 35 years in the market, CATSPORTS is now the premier distributor of sports and leisure equipment for the Canadian institutional market. Boasting over 5,000 customers and 75 suppliers worldwide, manual processes just weren't cutting it anymore. "We needed a user-friendly solution offering ALL basic warehouse functions," Jean-Francois Giroux, Owner, explains.
After discovering Tasklet Mobile WMS on a list of approved extensions for Microsoft Business Central, the mobile scanner solution hit a home run with its easy installation, straightforward customization, and overall cost-effectiveness. "Other solutions demanded the involvement of our BC integrator and budget allocations for consultancy fees. Mobile WMS didn't require any input from our integrator," Jean-Francois Giroux notes.
Before implementing Tasklet Mobile WMS, the company depended on pen and paper to handle containers of goods which held up to 100 different items. Now, receiving can be efficiently managed by just one person, eliminating the need for paper or manual entries into their ERP system.
Another benefit is location information on every item and the ability to automatically update item status on handheld devices. This means that CATSPORTS can effortlessly track item locations, ensuring full warehouse control. No more handwritten notes or double entries.
As a result, the company has cut time spent on annual inventory counts in half. Jean-Francois Giroux elaborates: "In our old pen and paper world, the annual inventory count would take up to 4 days. This year, the whole process was completed in less than 2 days."
But that’s not the only place they have become more efficient. Time spent on receiving container goods has been cut down by 40%, and unnecessary movement has been significantly limited: "Mobile WMS has reduced unnecessary warehouse staff movement in the warehouse by 80%”, Jean-Francois Giroux explains.
Using Tasklet Mobile WMS has streamlined CATSPORTS' processes. The mobile device eliminates double entries and errors associated with transitioning from paper to computer entry. It has significantly boosted their efficiency with instantaneous product movement in their ERP, resulting in fewer errors in product count.
Since implementing Tasklet Mobile WMS, they have been quite impressed by the speed at which their team has embraced the system, and the minimal resistance to change due to its user-friendliness. Mobile WMS has had a profound impact on team motivation, and they quickly adopted the new process, recognizing its clear value for both themselves and the company.
The Tasklet Support team was also quick and helpful when it was time for CATSPORTS to add the label printing functionality. To sum it up Jean-Francois Giroux says: “Our experience has been flawless up to now”.
