Fork Lift Truck

In the warehouse the need for access to Real-time data is becoming even more apparent. Most companies have existing software that uses a paper-based system to bridge the gap between the warehouse and office, this brings with it a number of issues including; Data Accuracy,

The ideal solution would be to take your current software used in the office and enable warehouse operatives to perform tasks directly onto the system on the spot. Using such a system would increase data accuracy and productivity, as duplication of work would be eliminated.

Rather than using paper to note down how much stock has been delivered and then updating the stock system at a quieter time, using a Fork lift truck-mounted unit you can speed up the process by enabling the warehouse operatives the means to enter data at the point of entry.

Making the back office software available where it’s needed will allow the accuracy of the data to be improved; it eliminates the time delay of the paper system making real time data available to people who need it the most. With the use of extra long-range handheld barcode scanners this allows the user to remain seated in the forklift truck whilst still providing accurate scanning.
