The hand-held units will enable provision masters to complete their main-store inventories and bar managers to undertake their own stock control. And, with just a few clicks, both sets of data can be made available in the period-end inventory.
The new system will enable stock controllers to create a mobile inventory either by scanning or manually entering a product, together with product count. The inventory can then be uploaded via the web service to the principal MMS database.
Synchronisation of handheld units with the main database can be initiated by personnel once they are within range of a wireless network, or automatically when the mobile units are placed in their docking cradles.
