Naxtor Technologies WMS helps companies increase sales, control costs and reduce overstocks - quickly and easily with a barcode-enabled solution.

Sydney, Australia - With its newly WMS released, Naxtor Technologies is empowering small businesses to effectively manage all aspects of inventory. This updated software, which is also available in complete solutions that include a mobile scanning device and barcode printer, offers the extensive features of an enterprise-level inventory control product without a hefty price tag or complex implementation.

Packed with new functionality, Naxtor WMS helps business owners know exactly how much inventory they have, where it is located, and what’s moving and what’s not. With Naxtor WMS, small businesses will experience increased sales, reduced costs associated with write-downs and write-offs, improved customer service, and increased value of their companies.

“Small businesses can be absolutely overwhelmed when trying to effectively manage inventory,” said Peter, Project Manager of Naxtor Technologies. “Without an effective inventory solution, it’s far too easy for a business owner to think inventory is in good shape. Yet in reality, inventory can’t be found, is unexpectedly out of stock, or drastically overstocked.

With this new version of Inventory Control, small businesses can dramatically streamline the entire inventory control process, from searching for items to labeling, picking and shipping them.”

The easy-to-use software is ideal for all sizes of small businesses, from individual contractors to larger operations with multiple warehouse locations and mobile trucks. For example, the solution is used in warehouses, light manufacturing and distribution centers, retailers, stock rooms, supply closets, and inventory-carrying trucks such as TV or satellite installation.

With the updated version, Naxtor WMS offers an updated and easier-to-navigate user interface, as well as new list reports, an improved database and updated labeling software. This improved usability will make it even easier to track inventory by location, serial number and other variables, perform inventory audits, assist in a cycle count process, as well as create barcode labels and inventory tags.

Naxtor WMS licensing is not restricted and it comes with unlimited mobile licenses and one server application as well as 60 management reports. Features of the Standard version include a streamlined and refreshed user interface and runs on Microsoft SQL Server Database.

In addition, users benefit from unit breakdowns during receiving, new picking functionality, the capability to designate multiple suppliers per item, and the ability to create purchase orders - even automatically once stock falls below a designated level. New receiving features enable users to quickly receive purchase orders as they come in, with the flexibility to accept partial shipments and create back orders. As a result, inventory can be matched against purchases to reduce errors.

For a complete solution, customers can choose from a wide range of packages that include hardware items such as a mobile scanning device, barcode scanner and barcode printer, in addition to Naxtor WMS. The mobile solutions include the various Windows for mobile Symbol or Intermec devices, which allows users to scan and update inventory in the field or warehouse and then synch the data with a PC. Business owners can be assured that they get a complete solution: inventory software, a scanning device and a barcode printer from one source that works together.

If you don’t have it or can’t find it, you can’t ship it. And nothing can drive customers away faster than not having what they want, when they want it. Traditionally, companies would prevent out-of-stock situations by ordering additional safety stock. But that increases inventory costs and can lead to a glut of unsold inventory.

Naxtor Technoogies offers a better solution with its Warehouse Management System (WMS) software. Providing real-time inventory control, WMS tracks items from receipt through storage, picking, and shipping, preventing lost inventory and out-of-stock conditions.

“With real-time inventory control, you always know what you have and where you have it,” said John product manager Easyway. “You can eliminate excessive overstock, reducing inventory levels and their related costs by 15 to 20%. “What’s more, because workers don’t have to search for items, you can reduce order pick cycle times by 50 to 100%.”

To prevent out-of-stock conditions, WMS directs automated replenishment of items when inventory drops below a predetermined level. Workers can manually restock the pick face or automated material handling systems can deliver replenishment stock to the pick face.

WMS provides real-time information on item levels, order status, and operator activity.

Cycle count processes ensure accurate inventory records, reducing or eliminating the need for physical inventories. Counts can be ordered for a specific item, by item and lot, or for all items in a specified range of locations.
