About xentral Inventory

The Xentral Inventur app is a comprehensive solution for efficient inventory management in modern warehouse environments. Designed to optimize the entire inventory process, the application offers a user-friendly interface and advanced features specifically tailored to the needs of warehouse employees and warehouse managers.

Main functions:

Barcode and QR code scanning:
The app enables quick and precise inventory capture by scanning barcodes and QR codes. On Zebra and Honeywell devices, those with the camera scanning function also support the use of the hardware 2D imagers built into the devices.

Batch management:
The app supports the capture of batches on correspondingly configured articles (setting in the article master data of the central ERP system). This makes it easier to track and manage inventory by production series, which is particularly crucial for traceability and quality control. An example of a batch-managed article in the test system is article 9999002 / EAN 4260425659002.

Recording of best-before dates (MHDs):
The application enables the recording of best-before dates for items that have been set accordingly in the central ERP system. An example of a best-before date item in the test system is item 9999001 / EAN 4260425659001. This item has both batch and best-before date listed.

Capturing serial numbers:
The application enables individual serial number capture, which is particularly important for companies that need to track products with unique identification numbers. Serial numbers can be entered manually or captured using a scanner to ensure complete traceability. In order to record serial numbers, the corresponding setting must first be made for the relevant items in the item master data in the central ERP system. In addition, the “Serial Numbers” option must be activated in the app settings (gear symbol at the top right). After scanning a serial number-controlled item, a switch to switch to the serial number capture mode is displayed next to the counting field. By activating this mode, all captured barcodes are added to the item as serial numbers. In order to capture further products, the serial number capture mode must be switched off again. An example of a serial number-controlled article in the test system is article 9999004 / EAN 4260425659004.

Multiple Hardware Device Support:
The app is compatible with specialized MDE devices from manufacturers such as Zebra, Honeywell and Sunmi. This integration optimizes the inventory process by supporting the hardware 2D imager built into the devices, further increasing the efficiency and accuracy of inventory management.

User-friendly interface:
The app offers an intuitive and easy-to-use interface optimized for mobile devices. This means that warehouse employees can quickly learn the ropes and use the app efficiently. The navigation is clearly structured so that all important functions are easily accessible.
