Managing Warehouses

Far more than a simple monitoring tool, the Inventory function also encourages users to interact with their Equipment. Users can order new Equipment to a Warehouse, initiate Bulk Transfers of Equipment between storage facilities, create and manage returns or Purchase Orders, select the Service Desk to handle those tasks, and even set default Reorder Points to ensure a fully-stocked Inventory across a large network of Locations.
