Take Inventory and Receiving Mobile with MIMS
Managing inventory shouldn’t require clipboards, printed reports, or running back and forth to a workstation. MIMS (Mobile Inventory Management System) empowers retailers to take critical inventory and receiving tasks mobile, improving speed, accuracy, and efficiency across daily operations.
Designed to work seamlessly with your Counterpoint system, MIMS allows your team to scan, count, receive, and transfer inventory directly from a modern Android mobile device, whether you’re on the sales floor, in the stockroom, or offsite.
What is MIMS?
MIMS is a mobile inventory solution that extends the power of your Counterpoint system to handheld devices. Data is collected in real time (or offline when needed) and securely transferred back to Counterpoint via an API. This means your staff can work where the inventory lives, not where the workstation is.
The result? Faster processes, fewer errors, and better visibility into your inventory.
Key Features and Capabilities
Physical Inventory and Cycle Counts
- Conduct full physical inventories or ongoing cycle counts with ease. Simply scan barcodes and enter quantities using Fast Scan or manual entry. Multiple MIMS devices can be used simultaneously to dramatically reduce count times and operational downtime.
Receiving
- Receiving purchase orders directly on the device by scanning items as they arrive. MIMS helps ensure accurate quantities, faster receivings, and fewer discrepancies, before products ever hit the shelf.
Transfers In and Out
