What is the COSYS Inventory Service? A complete, turnkey solution for digital year-end inventories

The annual legally mandated year-end inventory is a requirement for retailers, often managed with outdated methods. The reliance on paper lists and pens not only consumes a disproportionate amount of time and resources but also carries a high risk of human error. Inaccurate stock data can have far-reaching consequences, leading to poor decisions and affecting profitability. To optimize this critical business process, a reliable and efficient solution that replaces manual processes is essential.

The COSYS Solution: A Comprehensive System for Stock-Taking

The COSYS Inventory Service offers a holistic approach to digitize stock-taking. This integrated package equips retailers with the necessary tools to simplify and digitize all aspects of their inventory. The system enables fast and error-free recording of physical stock through mobile data capture. This ensures auditable documentation and minimizes data entry errors by replacing inefficient manual processes with a fully integrated solution.

The Technology at the Core of the Service

At the heart of the service is a powerful combination of intuitive software and suitable hardware. The mobile app, available for Android and iOS, transforms conventional smartphones or robust Mobile Computers into powerful barcode scanners. Employees can easily record items and storage locations with a simple scan instead of laboriously noting them down on paper. Features such as automatic quantity capture (with a default value of "1") further accelerate the counting process and prevent typing errors. The collected data is transferred in real time to the central backend, the COSYS WebDesk. Here, stock levels can be viewed, analyzed, and compared with target inventories. This complete visibility into the inventory process makes it possible to detect discrepancies early.

Flexibility and Support: More Than Just Technology

A key advantage of the COSYS Stock-Taking Solution is the provision of suitable hardware. Companies can rent Mobile Computers or smartphones for temporary use. This is particularly beneficial when a purchase is not cost-effective. COSYS has a large pool of rental devices and handles all the logistics and preparation. The rental service also includes a quick replacement in the event of a device failure during the inventory, ensuring process continuity.

Equally crucial are experience and support. With over 30 years of industry experience in mobile data capture, COSYS offers comprehensive support. This ranges from individual consultation in advance and technical support during the inventory (including weekends) to the repair of defective devices. This partnership-based approach ensures that the inventory process runs smoothly and successfully, significantly relieving internal teams.

Conclusion: A Partner for Efficient Inventory Management

The COSYS Inventory Service is far more than a simple counting application. It is a comprehensive solution that provides retailers with all the necessary tools to fulfill their legal obligation efficiently, transparently, and without errors. The combination of intuitive software, fit-for-purpose hardware, and professional support transforms the often-dreaded inventory into a predictable and successful task.
