Automatic Identification (primarily Barcode) and Wireless Communications (primarily Batch) can increase accuracy and decrease downtime associated with periodic inventory counts. Database Software Application programs exist to help you track basic inventory information such as location, cost, etc. and facilitate the transfer of data from Wireless Batch Devices.

How They Work
A Physical Inventory System helps capture data about the status to report discrepancies and update your inventory information.
Collect Data: Collect data including item number, location, quantity and other relevant information on current inventory. The person doing the inventory typically uses a portable data collection device and barcode technology.
Upload Data: Once complete, the physical inventory data is uploaded into the application or database.
Report and Replace: The system reports on discrepancies and allows the user to update the current inventory information.
