C-Reader Handheld terminals are widely used and highly efficient in inventory management, mainly in the following aspects:

1. Real-time inventory update: Handheld terminals can scan product barcodes or QR codes in real time and update inventory data instantly. This real-time feature greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of inventory management and avoids errors and delays that may be caused by manual recording.

2. Mobile inventory: Traditional inventory counting often needs to be carried out at a fixed location, which is time-consuming and easy to miss. Handheld terminals support mobile inventory counting, and staff can quickly scan goods in any corner of the warehouse to complete the inventory counting work, greatly improving the efficiency of inventory counting.

3. Inventory warning: By setting inventory thresholds, when the inventory is lower than or higher than the preset value, the handheld terminal can automatically issue an alarm to remind management personnel to replenish or adjust the inventory in time to avoid out-of-stock or overstock situations.

4. Order processing: At the sales site or inside the warehouse, staff can directly use handheld terminals to receive, confirm and process orders, reduce the use of paper documents, and improve the speed and accuracy of order processing.

5. Supply Chain Tracking: Handheld terminals can track the entire process of goods from entering the warehouse to leaving the warehouse, including transportation, sorting, distribution and other links, helping managers understand the status of the entire supply chain and optimize the logistics process.

6. Inventory Analysis: Based on the large amount of data collected, handheld terminals can generate inventory reports, analyze inventory trends, hot-selling goods, slow-selling goods, etc., provide data support for inventory strategies, and help companies make more reasonable purchasing and sales decisions.

7. Inventory Audit: Regularly or irregularly, handheld terminals can assist in inventory audits to ensure the authenticity and integrity of inventory data and prevent inventory fraud or errors.

8. RFID Integration: For large warehouses or high-value goods, handheld terminals can be used in conjunction with RFID (radio frequency identification) technology to achieve more accurate and rapid inventory management, especially for goods that require highly accurate tracking.

The application of handheld terminals in inventory management not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces costs and enhances the competitiveness of enterprises.
