The Inventory Counting Mobile App allows the warehouse staff to conduct inventory counts on the shop floor, for which inventory orders have been created in the Inventory Counting Web App.
Bitergo WMS offers two kinds of inventory counting methods
For an item inventory order the quantity of a specific item is counted in preselected and defined warehouse areas.
For a bin location stocktaking order, all items contained on handling units contained in specific bin locations are counted.
The inventory orders are defined and customized in the Inventory Counting Web App. After release, they appear in the Inventory Counting Mobile App and can be conducted by the warehouse staff. After completion of the inventory count the results can be viewed, evaluated, corrected and exported with the Inventory Counting web app.
The Inventory Counting Mobile App uses the standard Bitergo WMS mobile app user interface. For more details, see the document on User Interface and User Experience.
