How Does Mobile SmartScan System Improve Inventory Accuracy?
The above features of Mobile SmartScan are self-evident in how it can improve inventory accuracy. However, let’s clarify this point further by listing the key advantages you get with this barcode scanning system:
⦁ Minimize Errors
Mobile SmartScan automates data entry during restocking, transfer, and order processing. To better understand, let’s consider an example.
Suppose you don’t have Mobile SmartScan currently. You would need to record inventory data when received, transferred, or dispatched, which would require many hours of manual work. This increases the risk of human errors and other inventory management challenges. However, once you have deployed Mobile SmartScan, the scanning process will automatically update the inventory levels, which increases efficiency and reduces the chances of human error.
⦁ Reduce Manual Efforts
Mobile SmartScan automates many manual stock-related activities. Employees spend less time on repetitive, tedious tasks, allowing them to focus on more important activities.
⦁ Mobility and Flexibility
Workers can move freely around the warehouse without being tethered to a desktop system or burdened by paperwork. This mobility significantly increases efficiency during order-picking operations, as employees can access and update all necessary information via their Android phones or Zebra scanners.
⦁ Better Traceability/Accountability
With Mobile SmartScan, inventory tracking becomes much more streamlined. It provides a clear view of inventory levels and movements in real-time, which leads to better traceability/accountability.
⦁ Data Consistency
Mobile SmartScan provides a way for consistent data accessibility across all inventory operations. This reduces manual work and human errors.
