Inventory Tracking

Inventory
Originally uploaded by Kim Hayward

Receiving, processing, and shipping inventory is the soul of a manufacturing company. Running an efficient operation depends upon accurate inventory information.

At Plexus, we pride ourselves on providing the most powerful inventory control system in the industry. We believe that true inventory control – something useful to the people running the shop floor – must track inventory in real-time, must track individual containers and/or units, and must utilize bar coding or some other type of auto-identification. With Plexus Online, you get all these features and more.

Reduction in Quality and Shipping Problems

“With the Plexus system, nothing can be shipped without being scanned. When each container is scanned, the information goes into computer to prepare a shipping label. If anyone accidentally grabs and scans the wrong box, an error message saying ‘Invalid Serial Number’ pops up on the screen. It’s almost impossible to ship the wrong parts.”
