the heart of the inventory control program

Wireless Applications. This is the heart of the inventory control program. Sleek and stripped of all graphics this fast loading text based application allows you and your employees to rapidly manage their inventory in real-time. This means that if someone makes a change, everyone knows about it instantly! There are too many features to include in this summary, however we have listed the most popular functions below.

Receiving - Account for incoming merchandise and receive it to a specific purchase order number. You may grade the inventory's condition as it comes in and record that on the barcodes. When you make mistakes simply use the receiving edit function.

Query Location - You may scan a location and see all of the merchandise assigned to that physical location. Any discrepancies can be noted and corrected by your inventory control clerks.

Damages - Your inventory control team can adjust inventory downward and record that the qty was damaged. This is helpful for accounting for in-stock damages which occur in the warehousing business. We can run custom reports for you to show the number of damages over any given period of time. A high number could mean that your employees are being careless and damaging product.

Returns - This function allows you to manage your returns and track them by order number. It could be helpful to know which of your customers constantly return merchandise and in the condition in which it is received.

Wireless Order Placement - This is a very nice function which allows your sales reps to place orders from anywhere in the world. From the time they initiate the order, you may monitor from the order manager to see the size of the order as they build the order. When it is ready to be pulled, you can flag it and the warehouse can begin to pull the merchandise for that customer.

Web Order Pull - This function allows you to pull Internet orders for Half.com and Amazon if you sell on those web sites. It's a nifty function that tracks everything from order fulfillment ratios to your best sellers and price points. We will even send your customers a customized email with their tracking information and other bits about their order.

Line Item Order Pull - This function allows you to pull orders which contain specific qty and items. Accuracy of item number and qty pulled are double checked against what the sales rep entered into the system. Items scanned by the order selector which are not on the order cannot be added to the order.

Assortment Pull - If you sell by assortments, this function let's you pull books for a specific assortment number. In fact, in slow times of sales, you can pre-pull assortments and stock them just like a regular product. When you have a customer which places and order for an assortment, simply add the pre-pulled assortment to an order and ship the order to the customer.

Walk and Pull - Sometimes your customers will come to your warehouse to place an order and will want to walk through the show room or warehouse looking at the product. You may use this function to build an order as you walk around and you can over-ride product prices to allow for point of purchase discounts. This feature can be used at trade shows to avoid having to hand write and then key in your orders.

Move Qty - This function is typically used by stockers. Sometimes when they are stocking product and get to a specific location, the product simply won't fit in that space. They can use this function to move a quantity from one inventory tag to another. The items' purchase order number, condition and other pieces of information are automatically transferred to a new inventory tag as specified by the employee. They can then physically separate the product and stock in the appropriate locations.

Reassign IT # - In a warehouse environment, sometimes your inventory tags will get lost. Using a combination of functions you can find out the number for the missing tag and then reassign that product to a new tag. The inventory clerk can then simply place the new tag on the merchandise.

Amazon Query - If you sell product on Amazon, you may use this function to see current sale price and other information on Amazon.com. This is a stripped down version of our Pocket Watch Program.

Delete IT # - Sometimes you just need to delete a tag and start over. This allows you to do just that while recording that the inventory tag has been deleted. You may immediately reuse deleted tags.

Adjust IT # - This feature is often used when inventory clerks are cycle counting (mini-inventory). They may scan an inventory tag and adjust the qty to help keep the inventory as accurate as possible.

Inventory IT # - This function is used during a full inventory or if you need to miscellaneously (without a purchase order) add product to your inventory.

Edit IT # - Sometimes mistakes are made and need to be corrected. This screen lets you correct everything from count to item number to location on any given inventory tag.

Move IT # - This function is used to move an inventory tag from one location to another.

Find IT # - finding inventory in your warehouse has never been easier. Simply enter an item number and all available locations as well as a total on-hand will be displayed on the screen. In fact, this is accurate in real time, even if someone has just moved an inventory tag for the item in question.

Combine IT # - Keeping a warehouse accurate and closely organized as possible can be important for many companies. This function works in conjunction with the receiving program to allow you to find existing locations for the product on the current inventory tag. If you are not worried about keeping your purchase orders separate (so that you can know sales by PO and on-hand by PO etc), this function will allow you to combine all or part of the inventory on the incoming freight to existing inventory for the same product and condition.

Query IT # - Need to know all about a barcode, Query IT! This program shows item number, quantity, creation date, current location and the last person to touch it and what they were doing and much more.

Single Item Inventory (No IT # required) - There's no sense wasting barcodes on singles or even small quantities. You may use the SII program to inventory the items. You lose the trackable functions of the barcodes but it's very handy if you are inventorying singles for Internet sales. We can still track basic information like date inventoried, location, and person who scanned the merchandise into the system.

Warehouse Map Generator - We give our clients total control as to how they want to pick their merchandise. This program tells Skuflow the order in which you want to generate pick tickets as well as indicating whether the location is a pick slot or overstock bin.

Location Edit - This is a very fast program for doing cycle counting. Scan the location and you can adjust the quantity on any barcode within that location then simply hit an update button.

Zero a Location - This function is just the opposite of the location edit. This function allows you to set all barcodes in a location to zero and then you can inventory them and do blind counts. You can then use the location query function to see if there are any barcodes with 0 qty which need to be deleted from the system.
