How it can be used in the warehouses and depots

Warehouse ops with Scandit Express

Scandit Express with MatrixScan Count makes easy work of warehouse tasks like receiving, staging, and inventory checking.

These tasks can be a constraint on resources and need to be managed efficiently. For example, here are some typical issues that drivers may encounter during the inventory management process:

  • Disruption: Stocktaking can disrupt daily operations, leading to delays in fulfilling customer orders and increased waiting times for drivers.
  • Inaccurate data: If the driver is not properly trained or equipped to perform stocktaking, there is a risk of human errors or missed scans.

Any employee can do inventory counts using any device, preventing delays in customer orders and boosting productivity.

And with MatrixScan Find…

Scandit Express with MatrixScan Find can speed up picking – including cross-docking and trans-shipping, staging, and returns handling.

MatrixScan Find functionality can also help in tech and field operations situations. For example, it can speed up finding parts.

Here is how it can help distribution center employees

Scandit with MatrixScan Find can be used in distribution centers or depots. A typical task could be finding deliveries just released from customs.

Inventory checking in the depot can be a breeze when MatrixScan Count is added to Scandit Express. Simply point the device at the parcels and push the button to scan them all at once. The user is made aware of any failed scans and won’t miss a parcel on the inventory list anymore. It can speed up workflows by up to 10x.
