Ideal to unveil mobile inventory app at GIE+EXPO 2013
Ideal Computer Systems, a business management software provider for outdoor power equipment dealers, is unveiling its new mobile inventory app at GIE+EXPO 2013, which will be held Oct. 23-25 at Louisville’s Kentucky Exposition Center. The app, which runs on most Apple mobile devices, serves to help dealers conduct quick and easy physical inventory counts and upload them directly into their Ideal system.
“We are thrilled to launch a first-of-its-kind app to help OPE dealers with one of their biggest pain points — inventory,” said Mario Britz, Ideal’s director of product management. “This convergence of mobile and business simplifies the grueling process of counting inventory by using a device they are more familiar and comfortable with. This app is a first in a growing set of mobile capabilities Ideal is developing to help its dealers reduce errors and improve efficiency.”
Once downloaded onto an Apple device, the user can capture any UPC or Ideal-compatible bar code and update the quantities and bin locations. After the counts are completed, dealers can easily upload the new data into the Ideal system. This allows the dealer to conduct quick cycle counts and boost cash flow that is normally tied up in overstocked inventory.
To see Ideal’s mobile inventory app in action, visit the Dealer Resource Pavilion or booth #376 at GIE+EXPO.
