Janam Technologies LLC, a leading provider of rugged mobile computers that scan barcodes and communicate wirelessly, announced today that Coastal Pipco, a wholesale distributor for agriculture and landscape irrigation systems, is using XM5 rugged mobile computers from Janam to improve inventory management and sales operations.

With its focus on delivering superior customer service, Coastal Pipco worked closely with RedLine Solutions, a leading systems integrator, to choose a rugged device that will mobilize its workforce, reduce manual data entry and maximize return on investment. Janam’s XM5 was selected because it is powerful, easy-to-use and affordable.

KEY FACTS

• Coastal Pipco has been in business for more than 50 years and maintains its inventory at its Oxnard, CA warehouse. Serving customers from a breadth of industries, including general construction, sewer and drainage, plumbing, manufacturing, facilities management, chemical injection and water and waste treatment, Coastal Pipco is using the XM5 mobile computer to better manage its pipe, valve and fitting inventory.
• Coastal Pipco worked with Janam and RedLine Solutions to implement a solution that electronically tracks and records the movement of inventory within the warehouse. As a result, more than 97 percent of orders placed are completed and shipped on the same day.
• Janam’s XM5 is equipped with the latest scanning technology for robust decoding of the hardest-to-read barcodes – enabling Coastal Pipco’s employees to fulfill more orders within an eight-hour shift.
