Every day your company does inventory transactions that can't be tracked in QuickBooks. You have figured out a way to do these transactions using spreadsheets, or paper and pencils, but you are not happy with the results. Your inventory accuracy is lower than you would like, and maybe you are losing customers because you are unable to fulfill their orders on time. If you have multiple warehouses, or inventory with Lot Numbers or Expiration Dates, all this just gets more complicated and difficult to manage.
This is where AO: Rapid Inventory can help. Rapid Inventory is designed specifically for your warehouse employees. Rapid Inventory tracks your inventory using attributes such as Warehouse, Location, Receive Date, Expiration Date, Lot Number, Bar Codes (optional), and Hold Reasons. These attributes get used in various ways. For example we can direct stock rotation based upon FIFO (First In First Out), or FEFO (First Expired First Out).
Your Warehouse employees will use Rapid Inventory as their main tool for all Warehouse Transactions. Receiving, Picking, Moving Inventory, Building Assemblies, Counts, etc.
If you are interested in utilizing Bar Codes in your warehouse, Rapid Inventory includes that functionality at no extra cost. The hardware itself (Scanners, printers, etc.), will cost extra. The functionality around Bar Codes is completely optional and can be added at anytime.
Rapid Inventory has a very tight integration to QuickBooks. This allows you to get the right tool for each user. QuickBooks users will continue to use QuickBooks, warehouse users will use Rapid Inventory. In a perfect world, you do not need to get your employees licenses for both applications. For example, Purchasing creates a PO in QuickBooks, the open PO automatically syncs to Rapid Inventory within minutes. When the delivery shows up, it is received in the warehouse using Rapid Inventory, then on the next automated sync, Rapid Inventory sends the results to QuickBooks to automatically create the Item Receipt or Bill. The PO is also updated and closed at the same time. All with no duplicate data entry.
This circular process flow is present throughout the entire system. In fact, if you looked at a QuickBooks company file, you could not tell that the company uses Rapid Inventory. Everything looks completely normal. Just like all the transactions were done in QuickBooks.
