ITX Fast Track Solution
We developed mobile friendly app for store keeper to update transaction in real time. When store keeper received SO or DO copy, they simply walk to the right location, scan product barcode, key in quantity and take out. If wrongly picked, scan product barcode again and return quantity immediately. Meaning, whenever you take out product mobile app will deduct quantity immediately.
This example uses 5 places to keep track each number.
- Product has 50 on-hand + receipt 70 = 120 on-hand now, VIP reserved 20, so store keeper can pick max 100 for delivery.
- Next, receipt is 30 + 20 reserved = 50 on-hand now, VIP cancelled reserved, so store keeper can pick max 50 for delivery, but found 5 defective, hence max delivery is 45 only.
- Defective item repaired, store keeper can pick remaining 5 for delivery.
Outcome
Real time inventory system, always knowing the real quantity in the box, the real quantity in repair, and so on. And, every product move can be traced, from where to where, who did this and when date-time.
