Tracking serial and lot numbers is infinitely easier with ACCU-DART!
For many businesses, tracking serial and lot information is crucial to maintaining accurate inventory. This is particularly important for industries that are required to track serial and lot information for legal reasons, like those in the food distribution or pharmaceutical industries. In the past, manually recording serial or lot numbers could lead to greater inventory errors, which in turn could lead to serious consequences for businesses.
The Old Way:
When shipping an order with serialized items, the warehouse staff would manually record each serial number for each item being shipped. Later, as the paperwork was entered into the accounting system, they would discover that a serial number was recorded incorrectly. Other than unpacking and rechecking the order, the only way to fix the problem was often to grab another existing serial number, or make one up from scratch. In either case, the result was perpetually inaccurate serialized inventory.
The ACCU-DART Way:
When shipping an order with serialized items, the warehouse staff are automatically prompted to scan the serial number for each item being shipped. If the item was a lot item, ACCU-DART would prompt the user for the lot number and quantity. ACCU-DART verifies in real-time that this is a valid number. Upon shipping, ACCUDART also updates the accounting system. This significantly reduces user error and vastly improves serial/lot inventory accuracy.
In addition to the shipping example above, the benefits of tracking serial and lot numbers via ACCU-DART can be applied to receiving purchase orders, physical counts, and much more. Manually entering lots or serial numbers when doing transactions like physical inventory counts can be incredibly time consuming, even if the number is relatively small (like 5-6 digits). Because ACCU-DART validates and records serial and lot information in real-time, countless hours can be saved.
Updating serial and lot numbers with ACCU-DART is one of the quickest and most accurate ways of tracking this essential inventory information.
