Improving Inventory Management by Deploying U11 Fully Rugged Tablet

Business Growth Challenges Current Inventory Management Solution

On a daily basis, the company managed hundreds of incoming parts, outgoing finished products, service orders, and more.
To manage the inventory management process, the company used laptops, barcode scanners, and paper to track incoming
and outgoing inventory. To pick the oldest goods from shelves– first-in, first-out – the warehouse technician would print out a list of serial numbers, then match that information with items on the shelf. Those items would be brought back to a workstation so that serial numbers could be scanned into the ERP system. The process required the management of multiple devices and their respective warranties. It also lacked mobility, resulting in a high level of paper usage and picking errors.
