Motorola MC1000 User Manual

Simplifying manual processes in retail businesses

As a retailer faced with thin margins and increasing competitive pressures, you have little time or resources to spend managing your inventory.

By continuing to rely on paper-based processes to control the flow of inventory from the distribution center to the stockroom to the store sales

floor, you may find yourself hampered by inefficiencies. Your employees may spend too much time checking and rechecking inventory, tracking

down items or resolving price discrepancies — and not enough time helping customers.

While mobile technologies offer new ways to effectively manage inventory and streamline retail operations, complex and expensive systems

may not fit the needs of your organization. To optimize inventory management systems quickly and cost-effectively, you prefer a simpler

solution that doesn’t overwhelm you with the expense or complications of unnecessary features. At the same time, the solution you choose

should be flexible and allow you to expand its functionality as your needs change.
