ODW Logistics cuts inventory audit time from weeks to under 24 hours with Dexory

Real-time visibility and autonomous scanning enable faster audits, improved accuracy, and more efficient warehouse operations 

1. The challenge: time-intensive audits and limited visibility 

As ODW Logistics continued to scale, maintaining high inventory accuracy across complex warehouse operations became increasingly important to supporting customer expectations and service-level performance. Traditional audit processes, while effective, required significant time and labor and offered only periodic visibility into inventory status. To support continued growth and enhance operational agility, ODW identified an opportunity to adopt a more efficient, data-driven approach to inventory management.  

Key challenges included: 

• Manual inventory audits consuming significant time and labor
• Limited real-time visibility into stock accuracy
• Delayed identification of discrepancies impacting operations and service levels

2. The solution: autonomous scanning and a live digital twin 

To transform its inventory processes, ODW implemented Dexory’s autonomous mobile robot alongside DexoryView, the company’s real-time warehouse intelligence platform, to create a continuously updated digital twin of its warehouse.  

The robot operates autonomously throughout the warehouse, scanning every aisle and storage location without disrupting daily operations. Captured data is processed and visualized in DexoryView, giving the team a live, accurate view of inventory at any given moment. 

Within 2 weeks, the system was fully integrated into ODW’s workflows, enabling a seamless transition from periodic manual audits to continuous visibility. 

Each morning, the inventory team reviews actionable insights generated by the platform, allowing them to quickly identify and resolve discrepancies.  

Key capabilities include: 

• Continuous, autonomous robot scanning across all storage levels
• Real-time visibility through DexoryView’s digital twin platform
• Seamless integration with existing warehouse processes
• No disruption to ongoing operations

3. The results: faster audits, higher accuracy, greater efficiency

With Dexory in place, ODW has transformed how inventory is managed across its warehouse operations: 

• Dramatic time savings
  Full warehouse audits have been reduced from weeks to under 24 hours, significantly accelerating inventory cycles and freeing up team capacity. 

• Operational efficiency gains
  Instead of spending time on manual audits, teams can now focus on resolving exceptions, supporting improved productivity and operational flow. 

• Proactive issue resolution 
• In one instance, Dexory enabled the team to identify and resolve up to 90% of potential inventory issues before orders were picked, reducing the time and effort required for correction and helping to minimize downstream operational disruption. 

"Dexory has completely changed how we manage inventory. What used to take weeks now happens in less than 24 hours across our facility.  Our team can focus on resolving issues instead of searching for them. We now have greater confidence in the accuracy of our stock and can operate far more efficiently as a result."- Kayla Watson, ODW Logistics

Why ODW chose Dexory 

Dexory provides ODW with faster, more accurate inventory visibility while reducing the time and effort required for manual audits. By helping teams identify and address issues earlier, the solution improves efficiency and minimizes operational disruption. Following the success of the initial deployment, ODW is now deploying four additional Dexory units across its network to further enhance visibility and operational performance.
