Inyxa EasyPick + Oracle EBS WMS led to major efficiency gains from Receiving to Shipping at NFI Parts
“Inyxa EasyPick gave us the flexibility Oracle WMS lacked, boosting our receiving and put-away speed by 20%. We eliminated paper from the floor, improved accuracy with visual packing, and gained real-time visibility into operations“
– Brian Carruthers, Continuous Improvement Manager
The Challenge
NFI Parts operates five distribution centers across North America, stocking over 60,000 SKUs, with their largest facility located in Kentucky. After implementing Oracle WMS, the team recognized key limitations in flexibility, real-time visibility, and operational efficiency. Paper-based processes in picking and packing slowed throughput, reduced accuracy, and limited responsiveness to changing order volumes throughout the day. Management lacked real-time insight into warehouse performance, often discovering operational issues too late in the day to respond effectively.
The Solution
To address these challenges, NFI Parts partnered with Inyxa and implemented EasyPick, a mobility solution built for Oracle E-Business Suite with the ability to pair with both Oracle WMS and Inventory modules. EasyPick was integrated into NFI’s Oracle WMS environment and deployed across all core warehouse functions: receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping.
With EasyPick’s flexible and configurable interface to handle complex strategies for Inbound and Outbound operations, and with built-in mobile printing capabilities, NFI Parts was able to go completely mobile across all of NFI’s warehouse functions, while also leveraging EasyPick’s operational dashboards.
The solution enabled paperless operations, supported visual and scanning-based validation with item images from receiving through packing, support for internal mobile communication with receiving and picking notes on the scan gun, and introduced real-time dashboards that empowered managers to track progress and shift resources dynamically throughout the day.
The Results
Since implementing EasyPick, their operation has experienced significant improvements:
🔹20% improvement in receiving and put-away speed, enabling products to become available for sale almost immediately.
🔹Complete elimination of paper from floor operations, reducing costs and supporting sustainability goals.
🔹Real-time visibility into order status and floor activity, allowing proactive decision-making and better customer communication.
🔹Improved accuracy in picking and packing through visual validation and guided workflows.
🔹Cleaner, more organized work environment and reduced operational stress for team members.
🔹Ongoing collaboration with Inyxa's development team continues to unlock new capabilities and optimize warehouse performance.
