Zero-interruption inventory cycle counting
TouchCount is a new type of independent cycle count software that collects inventory information from warehouse data capture devices including scanners and mobile computers and posts it to the ERP, while allowing operations to continue.
TouchPath has developed the software and quality and projects manager Roberta Knight, a former warehouse manager, says: “The technology looks set to transform inventory management. It allows companies to live-count their stock as a day-to-day process rather than pausing production or order fulfilment to do so. Historically users have run time- and staff-consuming, disruptive and above all costly inventory counts that halt vital warehouse processes to provide a snapshot view of inventory that is then almost immediately out of date.”
TouchCount typically runs on an existing browser so is quick to install, either standalone or integrated with an ERP system. It also uses rules that allow it to be customised in line with the user organisations’ own namings and preferred work processes.
The live-count, real-time view of inventory delivered ensures warehouse managers have an always-accurate view of the stock for which they are responsible.
