One of the most powerful and easy-to-use systems available for counting inventory, ibAcus can be used for all types of counting, from the simplest and smallest store to the most complicated multi-site warehouse. It is designed for both self-counting business owners and professional inventory service providers. Simple to install, easy to manage, and reliable, ibAcus is comprised of three components that work together to make inventory counting a breeze: CServer, iCounter, iReporter.
CServer is the component that resides on a laptop or a desktop computer. It has many functions, but its main purpose is to store the current and historical inventory counts. CServer sends and receives data from iCounter units, which are used to enter the inventory data while counting. ICounter comes in two flavors, iCounterXP and iCounterCE. The XP version runs on any WindowsXP computer while the CE version runs on a variety of hand held computers. Counting clerks use iCounter to do the counting and transmit the count data to CServer as desired. The iCounter clients connect directly to CServer via any TCP network connection. No cradling is required since many hand held machines are equipped with wireless technology. Multiple iCounters can be used for counting simultaineously, each of them sending and receiving count data on demand. iReporter is the application that allows you to create a variety of reports, including comparison reports, based on your inventory counts.
ibAcus allows for retail, barcode, and sku counting. For customers that prefer a retail dollar figure, rather than quantity figure, retail counts are easily performed with the iCounter clients. For those using barcodes, iCounter is used to store the quantity of each barcode, utilizing the onboard hand held barcode reader. A unique additional feature of ibAcus is the ability to count inventory based on sku numbers or other such codes. All types of counting are in the scope of ibAcus. |
