What are the benefits of real-time information in small inventory environments?
Inventory advice for small to medium businesses from Will Daniel, COO IntelliTrack.
I don’t know about you but I operate in a real time world. My home office is a virtual location over 3000 miles from IntelliTrack Headquarters. My phone is an IP (Internet Protocol) connection that allows instant global communication. My Blu-ray player and television are wirelessly connected to our home network hub. Forbid we should even discuss the communications capabilities of our cellular devices. In short, like me and you, more and more of us are living in a world of real-time access to information where the deterrent of human intervention has been removed. So why as our personal lives become ever more assisted and dependent upon instant access to information, do we continue to shortcut our business needs and processes with antiquated batch data collection programs and processes?
The old argument was “COST”. That is simply not true anymore. Wireless and wireless-enabled devices are a commodity. The price differential between a wireless portable data collector and a batch data collection device can be measured in less than a couple hundred dollars. Wireless access points and infrastructure particularly for smaller environments are similarly priced and ever more affordable.
Did you know that unlike our direct competition 90% of IntelliTrack DMS and WMS products are Real-Time enabled right Out-Of-the-Box (OOB)? We are the only company at our price point to offer you the choice between batch processing and wireless real time processing with the advanced feature set to support your small inventory management needs providing significant benefits over any similar Out-of-Box product.
