Inventory & Asset Management Guide
This guide provides practical information and application suggestions
for easy implementation of asset management, tracking and inventory
software with minimal cost. Several software applications exist on the
market to manage assets and inventory. When it is necessary to implement
this type of application, it may be purchased, created from scratch
or modified from a template. In some cases, it may make sense to modify
a company's existing application, if one already exists, to include
integrated inventory and asset management. When an existing application
does not exist, modifying an existing template or sample application
from existing software can save time and money.
Barcode Scanner Integration
 Barcode
scanning may be easily implemented with
IDAutomation's USB Barcode Scanner. The scanner emulates a keyboard,
so that anything scanned, appears as if it had been typed.
This plug 'n play scanner may be
programmed to trigger
function keys F1 to F10 as well as
returns and tabs to move to different fields or activate a default
button.
RedBeam Inventory Tracking Software
 Managers
know that tracking inventory accurately is vital to improving efficiency
and ensuring sufficient inventory levels and
RedBeam Inventory Tracking Software system is an easy way to do
this. Inventory Tracking Software by RedBeam is inventory control software
designed to help monitor inventory levels and item movements within
a warehouse, a distribution center, stock room or store.
RedBeam Inventory Tracking comes in two versions, standard and mobile.
The standard edition allows for data collection using
barcode
scanners attached to desktops or laptops. The mobile edition allows
for data collection using cabled barcode scanners attached to PC workstations
as well as the ability to collect data on scanner-enabled mobile computers.
Implementation With Templates
The table below lists several applications and development environments
that provide templates or sample applications that may be easily modified
for custom inventory and asset management applications.
