Customer Challenge: Retail manufacturer\distributor is looking for a good inventory management solution that would help them manage their parts inventory. Managing a large facility with a huge amount of parts inventory has now become challenging and not efficient using spreadsheets.

• Automate a lot of their current processes and eliminate spreadsheets.
• Provide them with more accurate data.
• No need to shut down the stock room to perform cycle counting as all counts are date and time stamped.
• With handheld computers with barcode scanners, the job of controlling and tracking the flow of materials in and out of the stock room was streamlined and provided more accurate information.
