If you’re like most people, you’re thinking “never”!

One of the most dreaded and time-consuming warehouse tasks is performing a physical count. It’s a mindless, tedious, inconvenient drain on your resources. Not to mention, it’s in no way revenue-generating.

If you’re like many businesses, the ability to complete sales transactions in the field is vital to increasing revenue and customer satisfaction. You want to empower reps to close business on-the-spot - in the field, on the tradeshow floor, in the showroom - wherever the customers are when they’re ready to buy!

When it comes to sales mobility, there are many options available for Sage 100 users.

On Monday, 8/6 Google released its latest Android operating system – Android 9, also known as Android Pie, and we were ready! On that same day, ScanForce released our latest Android 9-ready version.

"We've built Android 9 to learn from you - and work better for you - the more you use it," Google said in a blog post.

Often times here at DSD, we hear from resellers or Sage 100 & Sage 100cloud users:
“I’m looking at the DSD / ScanForce Multi-Bin Products and I don’t know which one to choose?”
Great Question!

But let’s put that on pause for a moment and talk about  DSD / ScanForce Multi-Bin in general.

When our development team told us that ScanForce could search 1,000,000 records in under a second, we were intrigued, but also a little skeptical. After all, there’s a lot that goes into the process behind the scenes, and how do you even measure something that takes less than a second? Had they actually tried it?

That’s when they told us about the Million Record Challenge.

When you’re using barcode technology with Sage 100 to scan items, there is a lot happening behind the scenes to make sure the correct item is retrieved. But if you’re using ScanForce with our sophisticated proprietary mobile data capture technology, you’d never know it, no matter how many items you may have.

You’re lost. Nothing looks familiar. You look around as the panic starts to grow. Bright colors and a constant din surround you as you drift into what feels like an out of body experience. A child screams and you’re jolted back to the present moment.

In a world where the concept of Mobility grows each minute, you need a solution that provides true Mobility. Not being ‘tethered’, physically or by a requirement for a connection, is a critical aspect of a solution that allows you to be completely mobile.

At ScanForce, our service to our customers goes beyond just providing technology solutions. We partner with our customers to share best practices we've seen over the years for warehouse efficiency as a whole.

Previously on our blog, we shared tips on Key Considerations for Effective Warehouse Design & Layout and Creating a Warehouse Location Numbering Scheme.

For many Sage 100 users, manual posting of transactions makes sense for their business. They may enter transactions throughout the day, and then go through the posting process at the end of the day or at other intervals. The option to review transaction details before committing them is a control that many companies utilize.
