FAQs

An inventory management system in information technology is designed to help businesses manage their physical assets. It involves tasks such as shipping new or used laptops, tracking their condition, storing devices at a third-party warehouse and reassigning unused ones. Inventory management solutions aim to give total control and visibility over a company's real-time inventory and fleet of devices, automating processes like shipping, recovery and monitoring device security and updates, either online or in a mobile app.

It automates the process of tracking and managing physical equipment, with key tasks such as inventory tracking, invoicing, shipments and device reassignment.

Each device is assigned a unique SKU to improve organisation and tracking across warehouses and remote locations.

Additionally, the software can integrate with POS systems to synchronise inventory levels in real time, preventing stock discrepancies. It also helps businesses manage purchase orders, ensuring they have the necessary devices available without overstocking.
