Mobile Parts Inventory

HBS Systems Mobile Parts Inventory with a real-time parts physical inventory capability. Through a wireless network connection, this device will update your parts bin counts without the need to lock down bin locations or exit out of your system. Simply roam through the parts bins, scan the parts or bin labels, and enter your new counts that will instantly update on-hand values and record these changes. This technology allows you to take inventory on an incremental basis throughout the year, saving you the time and expense of year-end counts. Reports can be run at any time to provide details on the latest counts and adjustments. Data is retained perpetually and can be used to update your general ledger values as well.

Mobile Unit Inventory

HBS Systems Mobile Unit Inventory features the ability to download your complete unit inventory to the gun, providing the freedom to roam remote equipment lots, scanning the HBS-generated barcodes attached to the equipment. Once you’re back inside the dealership or in WiFi range, the scanned information can be wirelessly uploaded.  Now anyone can easily take unit inventories on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis or at any interval you desire. Mobile Unit Inventory provides a whole new level of control for your most valuable assets. Reports can be run at any time to provide details on the counted/uncounted inventory.

Mobile Parts Receipting

HBS Systems Mobile Parts Receipting enhances the standard Quick Receipting NetView application by bringing that functionality to the MIG. Now you can unbox and scan parts barcodes on the go. Features include the ability to override received counts and scan one item to receive multiples of a single part. Dealerships using average cost are provided the ability to update parts cost during the receipt process as well.
