“Ninjacart has helped us automate our Inventory and Order management processes. Their RFID enabled workflows have enabled us to gain better control over our assets and stock with a centralized monitoring framework, reducing loss and pilferage. The system-based instructions significantly reduce the manual errors (up to 60-70%) and their mobile WMS system lessens the need for workforce training and onboarding overheads”
