Handheld stock control with bisTrack mobile

Handheld stock management

The current generation of lightweight, rugged handheld devices have made wireless stock counting a practical option. With a slim training overhead and the ability to roam through all of your stock areas, your staff will rattle through a task not often relished.

bisTrack handheld devices

bisTrack handhelds run within Microsoft’s .NET Compact Framework v2 and use SQL Server Mobile 2005 libraries. Various mobile flavours of Microsoft Windows support these frameworks:

  • Windows Mobile 2003 and 2005 for Pocket PC
  • Windows CE 5
  • Windows Mobile 5 and 6

The wireless devices communicate with the base station and if the connection is ever lost for whatever reason, they just pick up where they left off when the connection is re-established. Stock counting might never actually be ‘fun’, but at least we make it as painless as possible.

Benefits: Simplifies a difficult and time-consuming task. Keep tighter control on your stock and lighten the capital overhead of excess stock. Mobile management and stock control makes managing your business that much more stress-free.
