Challenges
Baird & Co. relied on manual processes to manage inventory across multiple vaults. As our client scaled its operations, relying on manual inventory processes became increasingly unsustainable. These methods were time-consuming, error-prone, and made it difficult to maintain operational control and auditability, especially critical in an environment dealing with high-value assets. To support growth and maintain operational control, Baird & Co. needed a purpose-built solution that would:

  • Deliver real-time visibility into stock levels and inventory locations across multiple vaults

  • Enable smarter asset evaluation and more agile production workflows

  • Support faster, more confident decision-making in order fulfilment and production planning

  • Ensure full traceability of inventory movements, including timing, source, and business context

  • Reduce operational risk and manual workload

Hand with coin
Our Solutions
We designed and delivered a fully custom inventory management platform, tailored to the specific operational and compliance needs of Baird & Co.
The system enables:
Real-time tracking of inventory across multiple vaults, including detailed data on quantities and unique identifiers
Full movement history for every item, ensuring complete transparency for internal audits
Streamlined order processing – enabling staff to evaluate whether items are available, where they’re stored, and whether additional production is required
Clear decision-making support for allocating items to orders and selecting optimal fulfillment sources
Retrospective tracking of item movement paths for completed orders
Asset evaluation tools for production planning and reporting
Rapid reconciliation of misplaced items via unique identifier lookup
Dedicated tool for offline tracking processes, allowing staff to record and manage movements that happen outside the digital system
This project is part of a broader digital transformation for Baird&Co we’re driving as their long-term technology partner, focused on modernizing core systems and operations.
Our Approach
Our team led the entire product lifecycle – from discovery to delivery. Through in-depth workshops with Baird & Co’s operational team, we mapped their business workflows and compliance requirements. We then applied an iterative development process, incorporating continuous feedback to refine and validate the system in real-world conditions.
