The Enhanced Product Storage system in trakr Counting allows you to assign precise locations (aisles, shelves, bins) to products, improving inventory accuracy, retrieval speed, and overall warehouse organization.
Using Enhanced Product Storage in trakr Counting
Overview
The Enhanced Product Storage system provides a more flexible way to organize inventory that mirrors your real-world setup. Instead of assigning products to broad "areas," you can now specify exact locations such as aisles, shelves, or bins. This new structure helps improve accuracy, speed up retrieval, and optimize warehouse organization.
Benefits of Product Storage
More Precise Organization – Assign products to specific locations within your storage system (e.g., Aisle 3, Shelf B, Bin 4).
Faster Retrieval – Locate and pick inventory more efficiently, reducing searching time.
Better Inventory Accuracy – Aligns with your warehouse layout to ensure stock is where it should be.
Scalability – Works for businesses of all sizes, from small stockrooms to large warehouses.
