Upgrade Your Outdated Inventory Management System

Improve Accuracy and Efficiency in Your Warehouse

Accuracy and speed are critical factors in any business, but the complex nature of inventory and warehouse management can easily affect both. If your business is using an outdated inventory management system that wasn’t designed to grow with your business, or if you’re still using a manual system to manage your inventory, it’s time to consider upgrading to a system designed with flexibility, accuracy, efficiency, and functionality as the foundation.

With more than 30 years industry experience in barcoding, inventory, and warehouse management solutions, Barcoding & Data Collection Systems Pty Ltd (B&DCS) is aware of how the processes and technology have evolved – and continue to do so. This has allowed us to develop sophisticated solutions that meet the ever-changing demands of inventory and warehouse management, without being overly complex to use.

No business structure is too complex for our solutions, from being integrated for use in a single warehouse or multiple warehouses, and from managing the inventory for a single owner or company through to multiple owners or companies within a single warehouse operation. And being web-based (for use on desktop, tablet and mobile devices) means that you and key suppliers and customers can access it from anywhere and at any time, but without limiting you to a cloud-based solution; we offer both on-premise and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for inventory and warehouse management.

Developed using Open-Source Tools, our solutions are low-cost, fast and easy to implement, and can be extended further with custom add-on modules to provide the exact functionality you require.

All variants of our MINDER™️ series support extensive configurations for easier integration without you or your employees having to adopt new processes. Whether you sell by product, by lot number, or by licence plate label, you are able to allocate picking by operator, device, or product, and configure the picking allocation according to your own internal process, including first-in-first-out (FIFO), custom algorithms, or via the shortest route.

From receiving, put-away into storage, kitting and picking and barcode scan-checking of products, and finally despatch processing, your inventory management will not only be more accurate, it will also be more efficient.

Our success is measured in your success. Get in touch to learn more about our inventory management solutions and barcoding systems for inventory, asset, or warehouse management, and how they can help keep you ahead of your competitors.
