Streamlining Barcode Inventory Systems
Barcoding has many benefits including, reducing human error, improving inventory tracking and expediting receiving and shipping processes. Once a bar coding system has been implemented the biggest challenge is ensuring that all products are labeled and labeled correctly. Accomplishing this can create bottlenecks in your receiving and warehousing departments. However, choosing the right supply partners can go a long way in eliminating these bottlenecks.
What if every product you received, regardless of manufacturer, already had your barcode label?
That’s exactly the type of time and money saving benefit that bisco industries offers.
How we do it:
- Our diverse supplier network means we can procure nearly any part from any manufacturer
- Our 7 stocking warehouses create barcoding labels to your specifications for all outgoing products.
