Why Scan50 is ideal for small businesses.

SCAN50 has been designed to fit the needs of small businesses - which typically only employ a single member of staff in the warehouse. The need to manage stock is a bugbear for so many owners of small businesses...

>  even if you handle small amounts of stock.

>  frustrated at the number of elementary (but costly) mis-picks.

>  tired of running around chasing ghost stock.

With SCAN50 we have built upon over ten years of experience in the development of stock systems.  SCAN50 is designed to be reliable because we know that business owners expect nothing less.

It doesn't change the way you use Sage

Now you have the ability to put improved practices in place – without changing the standard way in which Sage operates.

  • Works seamlessly with Purchase Order Processing (POP)

  • Despatch pre-allocated orders from Sales Order Processing (SOP)

  • Simplifies stock-taking


It helps ensure that the right items on each Sales Order are always despatched to the right customer.

By updating Sage in real-time, SCAN50 keeps your accounts up-to-date with orders as-and-when they are despatched, track the courier’s consignment, and gain increased confidence in the Sage stock figures.

Multiple barcodes per product

Links to barcode numbers set-up on each product record. Up to 7 different barcodes can be associated with each product.

Strong feature set

We have concentrated upon the functionality which we are asked for again and again, mirroring the Sage order handling path, but adding barcode scanning and validation. 

Convienience

Convieniently you can book new stock-in at the same time as booking sales orders out. We recognise that deliveries don't always arrive in a timely manner!

>  Temporarily interrupt a stock-take when urgent orders need to be despatched.

>  Simply scan any product at any time to make ad-hoc stock enquiries.

>  View the the pipeline of orders due and key performance indicators on the home page.

Incredibly cost effective

Many stock systems require investment in terminals and wireless networks, however these can be expensive and sometimes over complicate a simple requirement.  By using low-cost, USB connected barcode scanners of the type used throughout retail, SCAN50 offers high functionality for a very modest outlay.
