RetailScan
We utilise proprietary stock taking and inventory management software developed by SHB Systems, who specialise in stock take solutions for the retail market.
The benefits of the RetailScan software that we use are as follows:
- Full control over the scanning process from a laptop to ensure that every bin and every product in the store or warehouse is accounted for
- Simple-to-use application on the barcode scanner requires minimal staff training
- Comprehensive merchandise, staff productivity and stock take information reports are available on the laptop, electronically and in hardcopy on request. – These are not only available on the laptop – they are printed as hard copies and there are many other reports that are available
- Barcode scanning includes checking and reporting on unknown codes
- Stock take is checked for completeness and accuracy before being signed off and submitted to the client’s back-end system via multiple data transfer options
