The Software Solution:

Here’s how Windward System Five can help your shop handle complex inventory with serial numbers:

Serial Number Tracking

Windward System Five’s functionality extends beyond just reading the serial number assigned by the manufacturer. The system also facilitates barcode creation for items that the manufacturer didn't serialize initially. This ability is particularly useful for rental businesses that frequently depreciate their units. Barcoding in your business can also help eliminate errors when identifying products, streamlining the ordering and receiving process.

Flexibility with Special Orders

For items requiring a serial number, System Five allows you to enter the serial number at a later stage, rather than at the point of sale. This flexibility is particularly useful for large shipments, enabling more efficient delivery processing.

Enhanced Rental Item Management

Windward Software enhances rental item management by allowing multiple items to be selected for a single rental. The specific serial numbers are consolidated and display as a total combined quantity on the printed invoice form, streamlining the rental process while ensuring accurate tracking and billing.

Efficient Loading of Serial Numbered Parts

The software also allows you to load all part numbers with their corresponding serial numbers from a spreadsheet. This process can include additional details such as cost, prices, lookup words, comments, and colors, making each serial number unique. This capability significantly reduces manual entry time and minimizes errors.

Inventory with Serial Number Tracking

Inefficient stock management can often lead to excessive stock levels and warehouse clutter. Through serial number tracking with Windward System Five, inventory turnover rates can be monitored more accurately, enabling you to make informed decisions about your stock levels for maximum efficiency. An orderly warehouse can, in turn, reduce product spoilage or damage and minimize obsolescence.

Windward System Five's serial number management features make it an asset for businesses of any size. Whether you’re selling, renting, or working on customer owned units, we offer dependable solutions tailored to your needs.
