Inventor-e SmartStores

The SmartStores solution family enables customers to effectively manage and control usage of indirect material in both storeroom environments and van stock management. It provides realtime enterprise wide visibility and control over your indirect materials to make sure that you are getting the most out of your indirect materials investment. Inventor-e SmartVan is a stock management solution that enables customers to effectively manage and control usage of indirect material on vans. It comprises a SmartVan iOS application that is downloaded to a compliant device with NFC (Near Field Communication) capability. This is linked in real time through 3G/4G to Inventor-e’s cloud-based SourcererTM software. The SmartVan App allows individual users to issue items to themselves or against a job code. The user logs in with their PIN. If job codes are required for allocation, then they are preloaded into Sourcerer and automatically appear on the user’s screen when logged in. If job codes are used, SmartVan will prevent items being issued unless a job code has been selected. The user then simply taps the phone against an Inventor-e NFC tag on the appropriate product bin - this creates the pick list of items and allows the user to enter quantities required. When the list is complete the user ends the transaction by tapping ‘Confirm Items Issued’. To use this application you need to have a user account setup in Sourcerer. Your device will need to be activated before it can connect to Sourcerer.
