EVER accepted an order from one customer only to go to the proverbial shelf and find the last of what was required has just gone out the door to someone else?
In today’s fastmoving business environment with online orders coming in 24/7 and raw materials constantly being called up for use on production lines, keeping track of what’s available in the warehouse has never been more important.
Whether it is incoming raw materials or finished goods, we all need to know what we’ve got, how much of it and where it is located at all times. However, maintaining up to date stock records can be a nightmare, especially if trying to do it manually, with the errors that can occur subsequently leading to unplanned downtime, loss of productivity and delivery delays for disappointed customers.
This is where using real time stocktaking to improve productivity comes in!
At Grotech Data Solutions (GDS) we understand that business management systems need to be easy to operate and understand plus quick to update providing maximum accurate information to enable efficient decision making.
We tailor our systems to meet the individual needs of our customers, offering a more cost effective, customised package of software and technology-based solutions that do precisely what the customers requires them to do.
With our manufacturing software you can build in real time stocktaking which combines barcode scanning, tablet and high-speed WIFI technology to ensure all key data such as stock levels and movement is immediately fed back to the main system with each transaction and so kept updated.
This means:
- No delay in updating stock records leading to potential customer disappointment or disrupted productivity
- Complete visibility from anywhere with an internet connection of everything in your warehouse at any one time
- Greater efficiency for managing stock levels saving time and money.
We specialise in working with UK accounts system Sage 50 providing add-ons which mean that any real time updates in your manufacturing software, such as when barcoded items are scanned and checked by the pick and pack system, are carried through into Sage 50 also.
If your business has warehousing operations across multiple locations, we can help here too! Our pick and pack modules can be accessed remotely enabling staff to pick orders at any location and while doing so, update stock data across the whole system. This allows you to know exactly what you’ve got – whether receiving incoming goods or processing orders – and making movement of stock from one location to another much more efficient and straightforward.
