The Hardcat Stock Control Module allows users to track stock (eg Stationery, office supplies) and consumables (eg toner cartridges, spare parts, engine oil, etc). While allowing the user to know where stock is located and the quantity, this module will also keep track of how, when and what quantity of stock is used. The module allows the user to maintain optimum stock levels as well as a complete history of pricing changes.

Easy-to-use portable barcode scanners expand
|
Hardcat offers handheld barcode scanners running the highly
popular Palm and PocketPC operating systems. This has allowed us to develop the incredibly
user-friendly, graphical 'CatScan' program enabling your staff to audit
stock quantities at any given location quickly, efficiently and with complete ease.
Standard location descriptions can be downloaded to the
Palm for selection as "picklists" when capturing or auditing data - ensuring
consistency of data gathered and eliminating potential sources of error.
The 'CatScan' software is also
used for barcode asset auditing, so it is possible for one person to audit both assets and stock at a
given location in the one single process. |
Reports expand
|
Reports specific to asset auditing may be run from the Barcode Module. Standard
reports include:
- pre-formatted reports (stock on hand, items consumed, etc)
- custom report writer tool (create your own reports with ease!)
- multiple selection & report sorting
- report generation to various outputs - printer, screen, file, email
