Maintain organised inventory records including crucial details like prices, costs, availability, and SKUs. Generate item variants based on custom attributes and categorise them into groups to prevent any products from becoming misplaced.

Item Kitting

Grouping items for sale is a widespread practice in e-commerce platforms. Utilising this application, businesses can conveniently bundle items into single units, while ensuring that individual items within the bundles are updated accordingly when sold separately.

Automatic Re-Ordering

To avoid lost sales resulting from low stock across various channels, businesses can establish re-order points. These points prompt the business to replenish stock when it falls below a predetermined threshold. Moreover, businesses can configure reminders for low stock levels and designate preferred vendors to supply stock, mitigating the risk of stock-outs.

Stock Adjustments

Implement stock level adjustments to minimise product shrinkage, ensuring accurate tracking of all changes with comprehensive details. Effectively manage stock to accurately reflect available inventory and determine the necessary stock to fulfill orders promptly.

Serial Number Tracking

Assign a unique serial code to each item in the inventory and monitor its journey from purchase to sale. Track the sales performance of each product and conveniently filter products using serial numbers to ensure accurate selection.

Multi-Location Management

Integrate multiple warehouses into the platform, enabling businesses to monitor all their storage facilities effectively. Manage the movement of stock between stores and warehouses, even across different locations, using a single application.

Order Dispatch

Opt for the warehouse nearest to the customer's location when generating a sales order. This enables businesses to expedite product delivery, saving valuable time and reducing transportation expenses.

Does Zoho Inventory Support Barcode and RFID Scanning?

The application offers support for both barcode and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) scanning functionalities. Here's how to implement them. For Barcode Scanning, ensure a barcode scanner is available and confirm that the barcode of each product corresponds to its SKU number.

Scan the barcode using the scanner and the scanned item will be automatically added to the transaction. Repeat this process to create a comprehensive invoice or bill. For RFID Scanning, similar to barcode scanning, businesses need to ensure that each product's RFID fills the SKU field. Follow the same steps as barcode scanning, but instead of scanning barcodes, use RFID scanners.
