Real-Time Inventory

The real-time inventory keeps track of Inventory Receiving, Sales orders, Credits and inventory adjustments as they change, and the system reflects the changes immediately.

Lots

Inventory is stored in lots that are tied to purchase orders. This is important for quality control and recall issues, and it helps you know where the inventory came from and on which PO.

Expiration

Expiration dates can be assigned to inventory lots in order to keep track of product lifespan and guarantee that your customers receive fresh product.

UPCs

A unique UPC can be assigned to each item and unit-of-measure. Scanning inventory upon entering and exiting the facility will help maintain a very accurate inventory record.

Dead Inventory Map

The visual map of your entire inventory highlights items according to their turnover rate, identifies slow moving items, and displays them for quick analysis.

Serial Numbers

Using the Handheld Picking module you can scan serial numbers of individual items and keep track of each specific item you ship to customers.

Consignment

Using our robust consignment module you can maintain an accurate inventory record of items stored off-site, and only bill your customers when they report that they have sold the items.

Third-Party Shipping Integration

The system is fully configured for third-party shipping services. Using information about shipment weight and cube, you can optimize packaging and make better decisions regarding shipping methods.

Alerts

An extensive alerts system notifies you when vendors have shorted your shipment, expiration dates are approaching, and even when UPS or FedEx mismatches an item’s weight.

Inventory Management

Confirm inventory accuracy, create adjustments and warehouse transfers with confidence. All while staying in control with customized reporting.
