Ensure Your Barcode Inventory Management Software Is Well Made

By Bernadette Martin


Any business needs to keep a record of all of their products whether it is tin foods, clothing or furniture. Without barcode inventory management software this will be almost impossible and if it needs to be done manually can take many hours to complete. Not to mention the extra pay that will be need for overtime.

There are a few of these barcode software's available to download for free and many of them are compatible with twenty five different formats. Others are able to let one create and print custom made barcodes easily. With Shopify the online barcode maker is very simple and easy to use and lets one keep track of products and well as organise each item properly.

Any warehouse manager or operator will find that working with a wireless barcode input system can achieve nearly one hundred percent accuracy. This will make it much easier to keep ahead of demands and not get behind. It is noted that even the most proficient data entry typist will make mistakes whereas with this method it will be omitted entirely.

When it comes to the management reports the standard can handle about sixty and the others eighty and above. For the update process in real time itself, it is better to take the Professional and Enterprise version as the Standard does not have this feature. The same goes for the PC network support.

Any purchase orders are picked up as well as the tracking with the Professional and Enterprise but omitted in the Standard version. There is also the ability to be able to track any non inventory items making it easier for the Warehouse Manger. The only version that is Microsoft SQL server compatible is the Enterprise so careful consideration needs to be taken before choosing the correct package for ones company.

There are a variety of different barcode scanners that will ensure quick work and the different makes are from Motorola, Honeywell, Intermec and Datalogic. The Datalogic Gryphon 1 GM4400-HC 2D is cordless and has a range up to thirty metres. The radio frequency is available in either 910 MHz or 433 MHz. It has a multi-point as well as a point-to-point transmission and an Omni-directional reading.

With the use of mobile computers one is able to do inventory immediately and not have to bring the information back to the personal computer. It allows one to remove, add or do quick counts within a few minutes. One is also able to track everything by location as well as site, date and serial number. This makes the whole procedure a whole lot easier for all involved.

There is also an option to be trained allowing the user to become proficient in using this system or software. Included in the package are the product tutorials and the getting started training. Others that are available are the Instructed LED training and the on-site training. The product tutorials allow one to learn at their own time and to be able to watch detailed videos. The getting started one has a pre-recorded one hour training which will cover the installation and setup.
