Training Your Team
Keeping your inventory data accurate requires a team effort. Make sure everyone is on the same page:
Consistent Updates: Emphasize the importance of updating the inventory system whenever new stock arrives or items are moved. Consistency is key for reliable inventory tracking.
Monitor Compliance: Regularly check that everyone is following the correct procedures for updating the system. This helps maintain a smooth and accurate inventory management process.
Utilize the Mobile App: Encourage your team to use the Gelato Connect mobile app. It simplifies updating inventory locations and quantities, making the process easier and reducing errors.
Gelato Connect Mobile App: Your Warehouse on the Go
The Gelato Connect mobile app transforms your smartphone into a powerful warehouse management tool. It’s designed to simplify warehouse tasks and improve accuracy.
Setting Up Barcodes
To use the warehousing mode, you’ll need barcodes for your products and warehouse locations. You can create these in the Gelato Connect desktop app. Once created:
Apply the barcodes to your storage locations.
Share product barcodes with your suppliers to include with the products they send you.
Managing Inventory in Warehousing Mode
With barcodes in place, you can switch to warehousing mode in the mobile app. This mode provides all the tools you need to manage inventory effectively:
Receiving inventory: Easily record incoming stock from suppliers.
Transferring inventory: Quickly move stock between warehouse locations.
Updating stock quantities: Adjust stock levels directly in the app.
Finding products: Scan a product barcode or enter product details to find its location and quantity.
Checking location contents: Scan a location’s barcode to see a list of stored products.
Integrated Barcode Scanning
The app's integrated barcode scanner streamlines warehouse tasks. For example, to check the contents of a storage location:
Go to the Location Check feature.
Scan the barcode on the storage location.
Instantly view the inventory stored there.
You can also scan a product barcode to see its availability and location.
Streamlining Warehouse Processes
The Gelato Connect app streamlines key warehouse processes, such as receiving inventory, transferring stock, and updating stock levels. This reduces the time spent on these tasks and minimizes errors. We recommend training your warehouse operators on how to use these features to maximize efficiency.
