Stocktake solutions that offer customisation to suit your operational requirements
Performing a stocktake is time consuming and costly. Collecting inventory information is critical. Some businesses can only afford to stocktake once per year, because of the effort and time your customer service and retail staff have to put into the stocktaking process. Fortunately, CFI Global has a number of stocktake solutions that can be easily adapted to suit your needs. These include barcode scanners and RFID readers. We also offer a retail Stocktake Kit (see below).
Using a barcode scanner to manage stocktake allows more frequent inventory counts and reduces any variances in the inventory. This is the most common scenario in Australian retail businesses. Some businesses even post about their stocktake pain on social media, or advise customers that their store will be closed for stocktake. While barcode solutions are the most common and affordable options for most retailers, we highly recommend considering RFID technology.
Due to recent expansion of our product range, CFI Global now offers a number of barcode scanners with RFID reading capability. In addition to the options below, we have similar devices available that we would consider when advising you on a suitable options. RFID makes stocktake very straightforward and eliminates human errors.
With a sweeping action of the arm, an operator can scan multiple items at once at a scanning distance of up to five metres. You can imagine how much quicker it is compared to scanning each individual barcode, which also allows for possibly missed items. Inventory accuracy becomes less dependent on the diligence of the operator, as the RFID reader picks up all items within range.
