Automated Data Collection
for Automotive Aftermarket Companies
Improve inventory accuracy, warehouse efficiency, and real-time ERP visibility
Hardware, Software, and Ongoing Support Services
At Datanational, we believe in keeping things simple. Our approach to automated data collection is all about streamlining the process to fit your business needs. We focus on workflow efficiency, ensuring that your operations run smoothly with minimal complexity.
The existing full-size ERP screens were never created to emulate the workflow of the operation; instead, they were designed to support manual batch processes after the actual work had taken place. This is where most of the productivity is gained in the automated RF data collection implementation. The value of timely (and accurate) data in the system provides increased levels of information in the hands of people who need that knowledge.
Quick ROI with Immediate Impact
Our “keep it simple” approach doesn’t just streamline your operations; it also provides rapid returns. By simplifying the scanning and data collection process, you can significantly reduce your ROI period and see immediate improvements in your bottom line.
Let us help you boost productivity, reduce manual errors, and make smarter decisions—faster.

Timeliness
The value of timely data in the system provides increased levels of information in the hands of the people who need that knowledge.

Workflow
