Inventory Control
Overview
The best systems can only be as good as the disciplines that govern their use. Establishing and documenting sound procedures in accord with proven technology produces consistent fulfillment results for MDS and its clients.

Verifying Inventory
MDS inbounding processes promote high levels of accuracy to ensure outbound fulfillment integrity and excellent reporting. MDS encourages vendor compliance and the quality of the each inbound shipment by verifying a correct receipt, comparing SKU, purchase order, packing list, pallet, carton, and quantity received against expected from Advanced Shipping Notices (ASN).

Many inventory issues companies experience relate to discrepancies with quantity. MDS alleviates this problem with scale based and other appropriate counting methods and techniques. MDS technology integrates powerful, flexible material tracking, order management, and shipping systems with proven counting and bar-coding techniques to effectively manage client inventories.

RF Barcode Scanning
In tandem with accurate counting, MDS designs and produces a range of barcode labels to track client inventories and collect data throughout the fulfillment center. Barcodes are generated by state-of-the-art, custom configurable thermal barcode printers. The hardware and software combinations on the floor facilitate rapid execution of many common tasks such as receiving, put-away, picking, kit assembly, cycle-counting, replenishment, shipping, and physical inventory via Radio-Frequency bar code scanning technology for real time inventory tracking.

MDS operators are empowered to confidently navigate through diverse client inventories with relative ease. The technology automatically accounts for every unique product, part, component, literature, POP / POS material, or promotional item handling requirement. MDS programming and technology enforce correct procedure to ensure client FIFO, serial number, lot, revision, and other program rules or processes are adhered to.
