the problem
In a perishable goods processing business, the accuracy of stock management data quickly and directly affects profit margins.
Companies traditionally apply significant and costly manual resources
to collect a snap shot of the stock at a particular point in time, the benefit of which is degraded by the effect of continual fluctuation.
This makes stock data expensive to collect, quickly redundant, prone
to inaccuracy and with regards to profit margins, self defeating.
the solution
The management of short shelf-life products and the specialist levels
of care it requires are at the very heart of the Integreater range of
inter-related modules.
The Stock Module has evolved over the years to become a powerful tool, enabling a remarkable level of accuracy and ease in all areas of stock management: intake, raw materials, work in progress, finished and dry goods, shelf and least life validation, soft allocation etc. It can be updated via a range of devices which work wirelessly to record
data in real time, such as touchscreens and PDAs.
the result
The relevance and reliability of stock inventory data is upgraded, as is the process of its collection.
Users can validate stock by scanning pallet and item barcodes, making better use of labour resources.
Integreater® Tracker provides an instant view of on-hand stock, available stock, stock shelf life status: you know the exact age of all stock and where it is. This enhanced ease and accuracy of stock management delivers significant time and cost savings allowing our customers to improve output.

All the items which are scanned into stock using the Auto Stock Booker are recorded in our database, along with the time at which they were scanned. This data can be captured and reported on, to provide an overview across the day, creating a pictorial view of an otherwise unseen key performance indicator.
Data such as this, when looked at for longer periods of time (days, weeks, etc) can then be used to identify areas for continuous improvements in your processes.
