Track Items for a Sporting Goods Store In New Zealand

Background
NZ Boxer is New Zealand's most trusted boxing brand which offers high quality boxing equipment. Its products are for sale as well as for rent. To keep products trackable, the sporting goods store decides to use barcode and handheld barcode scanner to perform an accurate inventory tracking.
 
Challenges

• A wide selection of products makes it difficult to record sales and other business data manually.

• Paper-based records of rent information is hard to check when some rented item gets lost or damaged.

• Without visible stock level, store staff need time to check the availability of certain item in the stock room on customers’ requests.

• Retailers cannot access real-time sales data of each store.

 
Solution
Chainway offers the hardware support. C4050 is an enterprise-level mobile computer with high-performance barcode scanner and stable wireless connectivity. Every product in the NZ Boxer is labelled with a 1D barcode, which is encoded with a unique serial number. Link those numbers to each item in the backend server and connect C4050 to the server. Once a barcode is scanned, store employee will know the detailed information of the item on Chainway C4050.

• All items are trackable, with electronic data to be checked and analyzed.
