Warehousing and industrial facilities can now benefit from outsourced stock checks, thanks to pioneering new technology created by RGIS.
RGIS is a provider of inventory management solutions, providing outsourced stocktaking services which save its clients time and money. Established in the retail industry for over 65 years, the company now also serves a growing base of industrial clients, thanks to its innovative RGIS Vision technology.
RGIS Vision is an advanced industrial solution that goes beyond barcode scanning to speed up stocktaking and inventory checks by eliminating paperwork and manual data entry. The versatile technology can scan part numbers, product codes and barcodes, boosting the operational efficiency of RGIS’s auditors during industrial inventories. An RGIS team equipped with this hardware can deliver quicker and more accurate results than an in-house stock take, offering companies significant productivity savings, and often financial ones too.
Kiran Soni, Managing Director – UK and Ireland of RGIS said: “RGIS Vision enables industrial facilities to realise the benefits of outsourcing their inventory checks – even those who don’t have a barcode system in their warehouses. Some businesses still don’t understand the high internal expenditure required for an in-house stock take. And others don’t think they can outsource unless they already have a barcode system in place. RGIS Vision fully addresses these issues, making outsourcing viable for many more companies.”
RGIS Vision uses pioneering camera handset technology to capture part numbers, QR codes and product codes as well as barcodes. It can even read smudged, faded or blurred part numbers. The cloud-based system creates a data file that can be imported into any system or spreadsheet, alleviating what can sometimes be hours of manual data entry, and significantly reducing the need to manually correct line-item variances on an inventory tracker.
RGIS has teams of auditors located across the UK and Ireland, providing local expertise to industrial clients. Outsourcing an inventory check to RGIS allows manufacturing facilities to maintain smooth operations without the disruptions caused by shifting staff. The company says it understands the importance of accurate stock data in helping management make informed decisions, ensuring optimal quantity levels, reducing over-ordering, and improving cash flow. By providing clear insights, the company can help businesses identify areas where stock-handling processes can be enhanced for greater efficiency.
For those still operating on pen-and-paper systems, RGIS Vision eliminates manual data entry and paperwork. It is also a cost-effective alternative to implementing barcodes, which often involves changing existing inventory systems as well as physically printing and applying the codes. RGIS Vision can deliver the same digital benefits and inventory check accuracy of barcodes, but with much more convenience.
“RGIS Vision can speed up stock-taking for any business that holds an inventory of items, such as parts and components,” added Soni. “Ultimately, it enables manufacturing and distribution companies to make better-informed decisions about outsourcing their inventory checks. It builds the business case for employing outside experts rather than relying on their own employees and time-consuming manual processes.”
