Use The Economic Slowdown As An Opportunity For Profitability
Given that most of us have had to make tough decisions lately, we should now look towards how we can make those decisions work for us. Software solutions often project a Return On Investment (ROI) based largely around staff reductions. If you have made those staff cuts already or are making that tough decision soon, you should look towards how this can benefit you long-term.
There is no doubt that the right barcoding solution will help you turnover more stock and output more orders with less staff. So biting the bullet now while you're lean will give you a strong competitive advantage when the good times roll around in 2009. While your competitors are adding staff and incurring more and more overheads you can remain lean, enjoying the benefits of the decisive actions you took while the going was tough.
The prompt barcode solutions provide your manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics staff with secure, reliable and real time or batch based access to corporate systems and data. prompt is a warehouse management system (WMS) that enables warehouse tracking to inventory tracking, inventory control to stock control.
prompt ensures all stock turnover, batch tracking and lot control of logistics and warehouse, through the barcode scanpacking via RFID are up to date and accurate for all administrative staff.
Designed to work with leading portable devices and wireless protocols, and using leading mobile operating systems such as Microsoft.NET and PocketPC, prompt is easily interfaced with leading ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), Manufacturing, and Dispatch systems.
And because the prompt applications and entry screens are fully customisable, you can ensure that business rules are adhered to when your logistics team process their transactions. You might let prompt enforce criteria that the staff must select the oldest batch first (FIFO) in a food or pharmaceutical environment, or you may request certain picking or put-away locations based on product. You can take back control of your stock management.
