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.
