I. Introduction

WISL Inventory Maintenance offers the capability to optimize the use of warehouse facilities. Stock transfer routines track product from the warehouse to the store or between stores. Handheld data collection devices employing barcode technology are utilized to control inventory activities. Facilities are included that provide for periodic inventory audits. The audits can be performed as cycle counts or full financial audits. In the case of both stock transfers and inventory audits, transactions are stored in handheld scanning terminals and up-loaded through a PC workstation to the inventory management system. WISL IM provides for reporting on the inventory transactional data and integration with the inventory management system.
