Bin Inventory Complete with Bar-Coded Bins

Organization and accuracy have never been easier. No more wasting time wandering aimlessly looking for an item.

When it comes time to find an item for delivery or to put on the showroom floor, the system will tell you exactly where to find the item in the warehouse.

Retake Inventory

A great way to spot check the accuracy of your inventory and catch any theft attempts is to cycle count. Cycle counting inventory is a process that can be done by location, or manufacturer. The system also allows you limit your recount to specific items and then stop the process and continue on at a later time. Many companies choose to do a small cycle count every few months. To make this process even easier we have added the ability to cycle count thru barcode. If your items are tagged with barcodes, the cycle count can be completed quickly from a held barcode reader. Once a cycle count is completed the system provides a report of all changes (overages or shrinkages) it waits for a member of management with the proper permissions to review and authorize the changes before they take effect. A report can later be viewed by upper level management or owners to see any adjustments that were made, when they were made, who did the count and who authorized the adjustment. Anti theft is a key concern for the development team. We protect you and also give you ways to protect yourself.

Discontinued Items in Locked Locations

When an item is going to be discontinued, it is important to get that item put into a location where it can been seen and sold so that it does not end up sitting in your warehouse. The Discontinued Items in a Locked Location report helps your company know what to move into clearance and when. It’s a great way to keep your warehouse space productive and move out the products that you need to get rid of.
