This enhancement was based on a customer request and allows stock or inventory to be loaded onto a vehicle and then scanned off (delivered) at different locations. This wouldn’t be that different from a traditional delivery workflow except for the fact that Local Stock Mode allows the creation of ad hoc sales and automatically creates and emails out the delivery note.
The video grab above shows the following:-
- A field sales person loads stock onto a van; barcode scanning the items as they load them. (In this demo the client calls the inventory in the van “Boot Stock”)
- The salesperson then proceeds to a client and completes a mobile sales order against the stock in the van.
- The salesperson scans the barcode of an item that needs to be replenished and the device shows the “van” stock available.
- Once the order is complete the sales person does a “Pick” barcode scan of the items in the van and returns with these to the client.
- The client signs off on the goods received and a delivery note is automatically generated as a PDF and emailed to the client and other stake holders.
Every item of data captured by the device is time-stamped and geo-stamped so you know exactly when and where the activity occurred. Since we know what was loaded onto the vehicle it’s easy to reconcile this against the customer approved deliveries.
