Streamlining Inventory Manufacturing Operations
Introduction
Dara Holsters and Gear Inc. is a company that specializes in manufacturing custom Kydex firearm holsters for concealed carry, competitions, and law enforcement. Their products are made in-house in their manufacturing facility in North Carolina. Their company is dedicated to providing customers with the highest quality holsters made with the best materials. They operate on the idea that if they can make it, then they should offer it. As their business has grown over the years, they encountered a few challenges in efficiently managing their inventory. In order to sustainably expand and scale up their operations, they searched for the perfect inventory management software that would help them control their inventory items more effectively.
The Challenge of Consistent Inventory Tracking Before Using Our Barcode Inventory System
Dara Holsters and Gear Inc. struggled with consistency with their supplies. As the holsters they make are uniquely crafted in-house, they had a lot of specialized inventory items that needed to be tracked. With an overall lack of visibility on their inventory stock levels and consumption rate of their supplies, it was hard to keep tabs on when they would need to reorder and restock for certain items.
They also struggled with tracing inventory or products that went missing. This caused an increase in their costs, making them spend more on replacing items and remaking holsters. It also contributed to inefficient workflows in their operations as they would end up going through manual inventory management processes over and over again to avoid mistakes.

They started their search for the best inventory system online. They needed a feature-rich system that could help them organize their supplies and inventory consistently. Our Barcode Inventory System was the perfect match for their needs.
Our configurable system helped the holster manufacturer gain maximum visibility over their items, making it easy to track their items exactly the way they need to. This is perfect as manufacturing holsters meant that they had specialized inventory.
The company was excited to learn about the features in our system, especially when it came to our customizable reports. They were relieved to learn that with our inventory system, they could generate reports on reorder points, which gave them suggestions on when to restock their items.
How The Holster Manufacturer Used Our Inventory Software
When implementing our inventory tracking solution, they first started by logging all of the inventory items they had. Once complete, they were able to generate barcodes and print them. That kickstarted their journey with our inventory management software.
With the Dashboard in our system, their staff was able to get a bird’s eye view of the inventory levels of their most important supplies through the Min-Max Status scale. The visual report gives a rundown on the levels of a user’s chosen inventory items, a perfect way to make sure that there would always be an optimal amount of manufacturing supplies.
The reports in our system gave them unparalleled visibility into their inventory levels. This gave them the opportunity to analyze which inventory items they consumed the fastest and devise the best time to reorder them. They also appreciate our system’s ease of use. The short learning curve of our system made sure that they did not spend too much time on training.

Our reports feature was also a big help to the company as they now had a way to consistently replenish their supplies. This helped to make sure that there was no lag in production and that operations went smoothly.
