What COSYS inventory services include
COSYS offers a complete service for mobile stocktakes that blends hardware and software into one streamlined workflow. The team helps you plan the inventory window and device mix, prepares and ships preconfigured mobile computers or smartphones, and sets up the backend—either in the COSYS Cloud or on your own server/laptop. During counting, data flows from devices into the COSYS WebDesk so you can monitor progress, check counted vs. uncounted areas, and reconcile differences. When you’re done, results export or integrate with your ERP, and rental devices are collected.
Stocktaking app and software: fast, accurate, and transparent
COSYS’ stocktaking software has been refined across thousands of inventories in retail, wholesale, and industrial settings. Users scan items and count places either with built-in scanner hardware or a smartphone camera; every scan is validated against master data and transmitted to the backend. The app supports “Quantity-always-1” to accelerate repetitive counting, works offline when needed, and offers configurable lists, multi-site management, and serial/batch capture. On the desktop, the browser-based COSYS WebDesk provides real-time dashboards, filters, tailored reports, and BI-style analyses for target/actual variances and progress tracking.
For Android users, the stocktaking app is quick to deploy via Google Play and fits BYOD/CYOD strategies. It digitizes paper lists into structured tables, supports rights management, and sends data over Wi-Fi to the COSYS backend. Typical functions include barcode capture, rapid report creation/export, automatic error detection, role-based access, and the ability to keep counting without an Internet connection.
Inventory management software for end-to-end warehouse processes
Beyond the once-a-year count, COSYS inventory management software covers daily warehouse operations from goods receipt to shipping. A mobile scanning app plus a powerful backend documents every movement, surfaces KPIs in real time via COSYS WebDesk, and integrates flexibly with ERP systems—or runs standalone if preferred. Features include best-before management, batch/serial tracking, photo documentation, label printing, signature capture, smartphone scanning, minimum/reorder thresholds, and multi-client/location capability. Picking (single- and multi-stage), stock transfers, removals for production, and activity analytics are built in, giving teams speed and traceability without extra paperwork.
Services that remove operational friction
Barcode scanner rental. If you only need extra devices during inventory season, COSYS maintains a large rental pool—around 4,500 units from brands like Zebra, Honeywell, Unitech, and Datalogic—cleaned, configured, and shipped ready to scan. Devices arrive with the COSYS stocktaking app and your configuration so teams can start counting immediately. If a unit fails, COSYS replaces it fast to avoid downtime. Short-term and long-term rentals are available, and smartphones can be provided on request.
Technical support. COSYS’ hotline supports you before, during, and after the count—by phone and remote access—to resolve software, hardware, or data-transfer issues quickly. Standard availability covers weekdays, with extended coverage (weekends/holidays) available via customized agreements, especially helpful during peak inventory periods (Dec–Feb). Remote tools (COSYS QuickSupport) let technicians access devices or the inventory PC to diagnose and fix problems fast.
