Inventory data collection is often the tedious task to perform on a retail store
floor. The traditional inventory process usually requires store personnel to
tabulate inventory on clipboards for the entire store.
Physical inventory counting in this manner is full of problems and the results
are often wrong. You have a closed store that is not generating revenue. Some
one (usually the store manager) has the task of adding up all of the
information and manually entering it into the system. This can take days! At
the end of the inventory process your inventory is still wrong, and if you are
lucky, it is off by no more than 10%. Isn’t there an easier way that is more
reliable and accurate?

Industry experts agree that a more efficient way to manage physical inventory
levels is to use cycle counting. Cycle counting is counting a smaller segment
of inventory more frequently, at a predetermined interval, without closing the
store. Microsoft RMS supports cycle counting by allowing the retail manager to
produce subsets of store inventory and generate manual counting sheets for the
inventory process.
Pocket Inventory for RMS
In RMS Store Operations Manager you define small subsets of products you wish to
count. Pocket Inventory for RMS allows retailers to automate the inventory
counting process by downloading the inventory data to a Windows Mobile device
over the wireless network. Once the data is loaded in your Windows Mobile
device, you simply walk the floor and scan the physical inventory. After you
have completed the inventory counting process, you write the changes back to
RMS with a single click of the synchronize button.
The retail manager reviews the inventory results in the RMS Store Operations
Manager and, if satisfied, commits the changes to the database. Retail managers
no longer have to close the store to do inventory. Pocket Inventory for RMS is
simple to use, accurate, and saves time and labor.
How does Pocket Inventory for RMS work?
Pocket Inventory for RMS is integrated into the RMS inventory database using a
web service running under Internet Information Server (IIS). This web service
provides an important extra layer of data security because the Windows Mobile
device does not communicate directly with the RMS database. The Windows Mobile
device uses the RMS cashier’s ID to access the inventory data. Once you have
loaded the Windows Mobile device, inventory counting may occur out of the range
of the wireless network. Pocket Inventory for RMS makes the physical inventory
process simple, and affordable. Once you begin to use Pocket Inventory for RMS,
you will save time and money, and have more accurate inventory data. Click this
