Software helps take stock
October 1st 2007

Apprise Consulting and software house TWS, has developed a new software product which they say will help any business with stock to count. "Stock-counting and stock management is for most businesses time consuming and tedious – and being essentially a manual operation it is subject to human error," says Gwynne Richards, director of Apprise Consulting. "Staff can either scan or enter product codes and locations, record batch numbers, quantities and product condition into hand held units.

"Data can be downloaded at the click of a button via a USB, wireless or Bluetooth connection into a powerful database which will match the actual stock count against the company's system figures, producing a discrepancy report enabling instant recounts." "Verified stock figures can then be uploaded directly to the company's stock/accounting system saving time."
