Give your business a competitive edge
Today more than ever businesses are focusing on Improvements in the Inventory Control Process as ways of reducing costs. The
reduction of inventory levels is seen as a key element of this process. However as stock levels are reduced another problem becomes
clear; knowing what is in stock is no longer enough. Businesses need to know where that stock is located, what has been allocated
and what is available to promise. Furthermore the demand to utilize bar code technology and hand held devices in the warehouse is
growing at a ferocious pace.

automation and item tracking capabilities in Inventory Pro help you improve inventory accuracy and better match the goods you
have on hand with customer demand.
