Both options run on Windows Mobile® devices and link mobile staff directly to the central bisTrack system. Staff can roam throughout the store or inventory locations carrying lightweight, handheld devices:

 • With Mobile PO/Stock Verification, stock levels, prices and bin
   descriptions can be verified, and a PO or new bin label requested
   on-the-spot as required.

 • With Mobile Inventory Count, staff performing physical inventory
   count entering counts directly into bisTrack rather than writing
   counts on clipboards and re-entering the data into the computer
   system.

“It’s a real time-saver,” says Graham Rigby, bisTrack product manager. “Studies have shown that employees with mobile devices are more productive and make fewer errors. bisTrack users will find that stock management is faster and more accurate, and information is available to users in real-time. Mobile Stock Management reduces the chance of stock outages, pricing errors, and a host of other small mistakes the erode customer satisfaction and profit margins.”

“The extensibility of the Microsoft platform is one the main benefits of bisTrack,” continues Graham Rigby. “Mobile applications, like other Microsoft-based applications, are easily integrated with bisTrack using widely available Microsoft technology. We can add new features and capabilities to bisTrack relatively easily, with the added benefit that our users are already familiar with the user interface so that less training is required.”
