In any service industry, maintaining an accurate inventory of innumerable amount
of asset elements is the key to keeping up with customer orders and delivering products
quickly and consistently. The general distribution industry has always had to cope
with shortcomings in product identification processes. Historically, the inventory
system has relied on manually fed or labor-intensive spreadsheets to track utilization
of assets. This manner of inventory control not only is tedious, it's highly inaccurate;
mistakes are made in data entry, and changes are not always reported immediately
or reported at all. Consequently, decisions and tracking of items is often based
on obsolete information that is not synchronized. This leads to stranded assets,
increased order rework, and ultimately customer dissatisfaction due to slow, unpredictable
service delivery.
AIMS (Asset and Inventory Management System) – is an automated inventory management
system for all shipping, receiving and materials handling. Items are on a locator
system for quick, accurate retrieval and storage. Allocations and deductions are
made in real-time. Complete transaction management and ease of use assure the highest
level of inventory accuracy - from receipt to issue, and transfers, to adjustments,
cycle counts, and full physical inventories in between. Combine this with warehouse
zoning, flexible Min/Max maintenance, and location categorization for product separation
based upon order status or inspection condition. A complete audit trail of every
stock movement is maintained for tacking and performance reporting.
