Why Bar Code?

So, what’s in it for you? Bar coding for inventory management has many benefits for the savvy retail owner. The labor costs associated with each physical inventory can be dramatically reduced. In fact, labor costs may be reduced by more than 80%. A bar code scanner will allow each member of your warehouse staff to scan hundreds of items per hour. The scanner will also eliminate clerical errors caused by writing down numbers and entering them into the computer manually.

Bar coding your inventory will also help to reduce the problem of lost merchandise. Bar coding sends a message to your employees that you have a secure inventory and that you know what you have and where it is.

The Benefits of Bar Coding:

1. Dramatically reduces the labor costs associated with each physical inventory.
2. Lowers the labor cost of receiving merchandise.
3. Improves the accuracy of your data by reducing manual entry of inventory information.
4. Provides higher customer satisfaction by not misplacing merchandise prior to delivery.
5. Gives a competitive advantage over other retailers who are not automated.
6. Tightens the security in the warehouse area and instills a sense of accountability in the warehouse crew.
7. Allows for the direct scanning of serial numbers.
8. Significantly improves the speed of data collection.
9. Simplifies the implementation of Cycle Inventory Counts.
10. Provides for easier tracking of merchandise when pieces are in transit from one location to another.
