Arizona-based Fastener, Bolt and Nut Company Automates Processes with Lasernet
In today's fast-paced world, businesses need to keep up with rapid changes in technology to stay competitive. Automation and digitisation have become essential for companies to streamline their operations while improving efficiency and accuracy.
Copper State Bolt & Nut Co., a leading distributor of industrial and construction products, is no exception. In this context, Copper State turned to Formpipe and its software Lasernet to automate critical processes, which allowed them to quickly print thousands of labels per day, reduce manual work, and minimise errors.
The Challange
Copper State required a large number of automated labels to be printed from multiple mobile devices with specifications per user. In addition, Copper State also has an e-commerce program that requires custom queries to automatically update their website data. Copper State chose Lasernet to address these challenges.
It began working directly with Formpipe, the owner of Lasernet, and then successfully transitioned to working with Lasernet Distribution for its day-to-day needs. Lasernet Distribution is a Formpipe partner.
The Solution
Lasernet was utilised to create document routing so the correct label would be sent to the correct printer based on the user who printed via their mobile device. Since Lasernet is so well-integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365, Lasernet Distribution could create triggers for labels and print buttons directly in Copper State’s ERP. They were also able to generate custom labels by using Lasernet to pick up a pre-determined design based on the data that comes from D365. This allows for custom labels so that if, for instance, a customer buys a box of bolts, they can use a label with customer-specific information.
By using Lasernet’s document routing functionality, Lasernet Distribution was also able to set up predefined printing for warehouse picking processes in different states all from one batch job that leverages Lasernet’s functionality.
The Result
The processes that Lasernet Distribution created and has run in the background of Copper State’s operations are significant. The company can now successfully and quickly print thousands of labels per day with Lasernet. These processes created efficiencies and reduced a significant volume of manual work and the probability of errors.
"Copper State has been a great, long-time customer of Formpipe and it’s been wonderful to see how Lasernet has been leveraged to support their growth in all sorts of interesting ways,” says Anders Terp, Head of Partnerships US, Formpipe.
