Inventory Management & Manufucturing

• Inventory was re-categorized and captured into the system in respect to their categories. The system also allowed the allocation to inventory to their various locations which eases the process of stock counting, monitoring and valuation.

• Inventory locations also helped to solved the problem of stock getting lost as particular system users (Store keepers) are assigned full rights to the location in the system which enables them to take full responsibility of the physical store in relation to the system store.

• Stock Replenishment, Requisition & consumption processes were better improved by involving hierarchies of approval before performing any of these actions in the system
