Meet GOLFER'S WAREHOUSE

Manual inventory counts are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Lisa Gauthier of Golfer's Warehouse in Connecticut is a firm believer in the benefits of Infocorp's Hand Held Count module. Fully integrated with Softwear/POS™, Hand Held Count can improve your time savings by 75%!

Understand Their Choice "The time saving has been tremendous!" declared Lisa. "It used to take ten employees and twelve hours per store to complete one inventory. Now, it only takes ten employees and three hours per store. Our payroll has been significantly reduced." Lisa continued, "We have six remote locations, and with a current inventory detail file consisting of ten thousand items per location, it became next to impossible to conduct a manual inventory in a timely manner. In February '95, we installed the Hand Held Count module and purchased PC Wand hand-held readers for each of our stores. We are now using the PC Wand for store transfers, to spot check physical inventories by department/class, and complete store physical inventories."

Problems like the amount of time it took, number transposition, omission of items, and reading someone's numeric writing drove the need for an alternate method. Many customers are now discovering a "hidden treasure" in Softwear/POS™ -- the Hand Held Count module.
