Accuracy
Accurate inventory counts contribute to improved customer service and purchasing. Customer
service personnel and salespeople serve customers more efficiently when they are confident
that stock quantities are accurate.
However, if quantities are unknown, they will put potential customers on hold to go out to the
warehouse and confirm that products really exist before attempting to sell them, leading to customer
discontent. Purchasing benefits from accurate inventory information by being better equipped to make
economic ordering decisions and employing effective replenishment techniques to minimize stock-out
situations.
Traditional paper and pencil inventory counting methods require the use of purchased tags or forms,
team counting of each location, hand written documents, key entering of collected forms, and lengthy
shutdowns. With Scan2Track Physical Inventory and Cycle Counting software, all forms, tags, key entry
procedures, and hand written information are eliminated, while the number of counters is reduced.
By eliminating hand written documents and key entry by clerical staff you vastly improve accuracy.
