Quite often, stock items that are brought into the warehouse or stock room get conveniently put wherever there is room for them — in a drawer or bin, on the corner of a shelf, under a bench beside an established location, into a bin with other items whose packaging looks similar, and so forth. Inventory that is missing or misplaced must become a situation of the past. You need a stable and versatile stock recording system to do what your company needs and a dedicated individual (or department) that will be responsible and have full control and understanding of the stock system you have implemented.
SIMMS 2013 Inventory Management software lets its users do their jobs, whether they use a data collector on their belt, a wireless laptop tucked under their arm or a desktop computer functioning at the receiving desk. SIMMS will help your business optimize your control of your stock with accuracy and accountability with every item traceable to not only its supplier but also to who received and warehoused it. SIMMS is precise without being imposing or all-consuming.
Electronic data interchange (EDI) and bar code scanning help you to eliminate data entry errors. A system of “cycle counting” – wherein a few items a day are physically counted and their totals are compared to their recorded to the actual count. Highest-selling – and highest-priced items – should be counted more often. SIMMS can help you achieve these goals, and can also aid your efforts to counteract the following challenges:
- Blocked aisles
- Damaged equipment
- Damaged inventory
- General clutter and disorder
- Inability to ship on time
- Inaccurate inventory
- Lost inventory
- Low morale
- Low productivity
- Shipping errors
- Work injuries
