Xentral’s Mobile Inventory App is a solution that allows you to keep track of your inventory anywhere, anytime without being tied to a fixed office or location. Instead of tediously walking through warehouses and manually writing down inventory, you simply use a mobile device to scan barcodes and update inventory in Xentral in real time, saving you a lot of time while working with significantly reduced error rates.
Important
The Mobile Inventory App is available free of charge to Xentral customers with a Business or Pro plan. You can download it free of charge directly from the Google Play Store, but please note the hardware requirements before downloading.
The Mobile Inventory App offers the following features and benefits:
-
Seamless login and app usage on different devices for multiple employees
-
Real-time inventory counts
-
Role assignment for the inventory process depending on the task of your warehouse employees (counters and controllers)
-
Convenient and uncomplicated selection of storage locations via barcode scanning
-
Easy and fast product registration via barcode scan
-
Transparent documentation and traceability of the inventory process
-
Preparation of electronically signed inventory reports after completion of counting
-
Tracking inventory changes at a glance in the Reports module (delta report)
Important
You may also be familiar with the inventory function in the menu Stock > Warehouse Management > Tab: Inventory in Xentral. This is a rudimentary form of inventory counting that cannot be performed on mobile devices and is therefore very error-prone. Furthermore, it is not possible to automatically record warehouse locations and products via barcode scanning. We recommend that you no longer use this functionality, but use the improved usability and the modern technological framework of the Mobile Inventory App.
