Information & overview
FreshTurf approached Tekuton with a vision to modernize and fully automate the way their technicians accessed and managed vehicle spare parts. The goal was to replace a traditional, error-prone manual warehouse process with a seamless, intelligent, and unmanned system.
We delivered an end-to-end smart automation solution—powered by IoT and computer vision—that enables technicians to loan and collect parts using only their mobile devices. From unlocking doors and lockers to activating scanners and verifying pickups, every interaction is frictionless and secure.
This project is now live and operating successfully for over 2 years, significantly enhancing speed, reducing errors, and creating a future-proof standard for spare parts logistics.
Challenges & solution
Project Challenges :
Before our involvement, FreshTurf’s operations faced several key bottlenecks:
- Manual warehousing processes slowed down part retrieval and return cycles.
- High dependency on human oversight led to frequent errors and inconsistencies.
- Lack of system integration made it difficult to monitor and audit inventory flow.
- Technicians often faced delays due to limited access to spare parts outside of working hours.
Our solutions :
We designed and deployed a robust, fully automated Techstore ecosystem with the following capabilities:
Unmanned Smart Access: Technicians can unlock facility doors, storage lockers, and activate IoT-enabled devices using their smartphones.
End-to-End System Integration: We connected every device—from doors to scanners—through a secure IoT network, ensuring real-time coordination and traceability.
Computer Vision Validation: Integrated camera systems validate transactions and enhance security by verifying user actions and inventory movement.
User-Friendly Interface: A custom-built mobile experience simplifies the loaning and return process, minimizing training time and maximizing adoption.
By eliminating manual steps and creating a tightly integrated flow, we not only solved operational pain points but also empowered FreshTurf to scale faster with fewer resources.
