Husqvarna uses AppSheet to enhance performance in their Service Parts Distribution Center

Listen to this article

AppSheet, a no-code development platform provider, has announced highlights from a customer case study featuring Husqvarna, a global producer of outdoor power products. Leveraging the AppSheet no-code platform, Husqvarna’s largest North American Parts & Accessories distribution center, located in Columbia, South Carolina, is now fully digital with a series of apps that manage inventory, personnel management, forklift drivers, shipping, receiving, quality tracking, and more. The eight-month effort was spearheaded by N.A. Chris Dulski, Director of Supply Chain, Mark Creighton, Operations Manager, and Erika Braxton, Tech Team Lead.

“Digitally transforming our inventory and warehouse management processes was our ultimate goal so we made a bold decision: enhance warehouse operations with a suite of custom apps built on the AppSheet platform,” said Dulski.

Husqvarna was able to accomplish this goal at a fraction of the cost when compared with other development platforms. “Within eight months two people, built more than 40 apps to manage many of the processes in our facility. We accomplished all of this without having any development background and without writing a single line of code,” said Creighton.

Every day, we learn about great companies from many sectors—manufacturing, construction, transportation, and more—that are transforming their operations by developing and deploying custom apps. These companies have fundamentally changed how people get work done, without the overhead and costs of the traditional software development process,” said Praveen Seshadri, CEO of AppSheet. “I recently visited the Husqvarna facility in Columbia S.C. It is the perfect example of how to transform a paper-based process into a fully digital operation. Their app transformation reflects the power and agility of no-code app development. What Mark and Erika accomplished within such a short time frame is a testament to their innovation and their willingness to employ modern technology to drive productivity.”
