Can we use a tablet or smart phone as barcode scanner at our warehouses?

Yes. We provide the LoGeo Warehouse Management App to improve the accuracy and efficiency of work at your warehouse. The app works on most devices with a recent Android operating system. Your staff can find the app in Google Play store and install it on their device, but please make sure you set up user accounts for them to log into the app.

Currently the LoGeo apps do not support Apple iOS devices such as an iPhone or iPad.

How can the LoGeo Warehouse Management App improve work at our warehouses?

/in /by

The Warehouse Management App helps your staff improve both the accuracy and efficiency of their work mainly with its bar-code scanning and matching feature. The main idea behind the app is that your staff do the barcode scanning to make sure only the right consignments can come into or out of your warehouses, while recording their exact locations once consignments are placed into a warehouse. Like the Driver App, the warehouse app also sends information back to the LoGeo system once the info is recorded.

The app can used in most smart devices (phone, tablet, bar-code scanner) with a recent Android 4.0 or higher operating system. Its main functions include:

  1. Inbound/outbound scanning of consignment units
  2. Scanning the goods into a physical warehouse location (Area, racking, loading-bay)
  3. Inventory scanning
  4. Movement of consignments between different locations inside warehouses
  5. Relabeling consignment units

Can the LoGeo Warehouse Management App work on our current barcode scanners?

/in /by

Yes, if your barcode scanners run on an Android system not older than the 4.0 version. Your staff can also install the app on an Android phone or tablet and use the device as a barcode scanner to manage your  consignments in your warehouses.

If you are using non-smart barcode scanners, you can simply manually update a few consignment details (e.g. exact warehouse location) in LoGeo after they are brought into your warehouses. You can still enjoy other benefits of the Warehouse Management function of LoGeo even without performing barcode scanning with the app.

Can we get real-time updates on consignments stored in our warehouses on the LoGeo system?

/in /by

Yes, the Warehouse Management function of LoGeo provides you with information of consignments in your warehouses.

You can see from this screen all the details of consignments (media type, quantity, exact location in the warehouse, delivery location, etc.) and easily plan delivery tours based on required date of delivery of consignments. LoGeo can also show you consignments that are expected to arrive at your warehouses once their collection tours are planned.

After the delivery tour of a complete consignment is planned, it will disappear from the Warehouse Management screen, but you can still find it in the Warehouse Location screen when you need to access its details. Information of past consignments can always be found in LoGeo easily by applying filters such as financial account, delivery country/post code/location, delivery date/period, etc.

To help your warehouse staff, we provide the LoGeo Warehouse Management Scanning App that can be used in an Android phone, tablet or barcode scanner for tasks including:

  1. Inbound/outbound scanning of consignment units
  2. Inventory scanning
  3. Movement of consignments between different locations inside warehouses
  4. Relabeling consignment units

The app helps your staff accurately handle consignments and record their location and status.  With such improved efficiency, you can provide better storage services and handle larger quantities of consignments to increase your revenue.

Can we get real-time updates on consignments stored in our warehouses on the LoGeo system?

/in /by

Absolutely.

The Warehouse Management section of LoGeo does not only show all the consignments currently stored in your warehouses, but also shows the ones that are expected to come in at a future date. You can also use our Warehouse Management App on a Android device to check consignments into the warehouse or load them for delivery.

Even after the goods are moved out of the warehouse, you can still find the detailed information of them in LoGeo with a comprehensive audit-trail.
