Inventory apps

What is an inventory application?

Any software solution for inventory automation should have a powerful set of functions and an intuitive interface for easy use on mobile devices with a camera (for reading barcodes). Such applications allow you to automate control mobile sales and keep inventory records outside the office, which reduces labor and operating costs, as well as simplifies inventory accounting in accounting programs.

The inventory program functions should focus on managing inventory in warehouses and accurately tracking its movements, which covers all routine processes. It also automates the sales agents’ work at sales outlets.
