CHALLENGE
Archer Meat Snacks relied on paper records to track inventory movements, shipments, and lot numbers. Transactions were often entered into NetSuite the following day, leaving the team without a current view of warehouse inventory.
RESULTS
With RF-SMART, Archer Meat Snacks records warehouse activity in NetSuite as work happens. They achieved 99.53% finished-goods build accuracy and 100% putaway accuracy across 320 received pallet IDs.

The Challenge
As Archer Meat Snacks’ operations expanded, paper-based processes became a growing constraint on their ability to run a connected, reliable warehouse operation.
Key issues:
- Delayed inventory visibility: Warehouse employees documented movements, shipments, and lot numbers by hand. Records were often unavailable in NetSuite until at least the following day.
- Manual outbound paperwork: The team created packing slips for transfers by hand and needed a more efficient way to validate inventory and lot information before finished goods left the warehouse.
- Difficult-to-trace errors: Without system validation at the time of work, an incorrect letter or number could be hard to identify after the transaction occurred.

"It was almost impossible to see live inventory in NetSuite.” The Solution
To move beyond manual workflows, Archer Meat Snacks implemented RF-SMART WMS for NetSuite as a more reliable way to manage their warehouse from receiving through outbound fulfillment.
With RF-SMART, Archer Meat Snacks:
- Scans warehouse activity: Their team configured barcode-driven workflows for inbound receipts, bin movements, outbound fulfillment, and finished-goods storage.
- Tracks pallets with unique IDs: RF-SMART License Plating gives each pallet an ID that the team can scan to identify its contents and manage its movement between rack locations.
- Records work in NetSuite as it happens: Scanning enables their team with more timely inventory records than their previous paper-based process.

The Results
With RF-SMART, Archer Meat Snacks now has a more timely view of inventory in NetSuite. Their warehouse, production, and quality teams can use current records to support decisions and keep materials moving.
- 99.53% finished-goods build accuracy.
- 100% putaway accuracy across 320 received pallet IDs.
- Fewer outbound transfer errors: Scanning helps the team confirm inventory and lot information before finished goods leave the warehouse.
With greater control over their current processes, Archer Meat Snacks plans to extend
RF-SMART into production workflows and additional locations as their needs grow.
