Skorpio mobile computer manages inventory

Datalogic Mobile has revealed that Houra.fr has selected its Skorpio mobile computer to manage warehouse inventories, deliveries, received, and restocking.

Houra.fr has two order preparation sites in France - one based at Bussy-Saint-Georges and the other at Marignane.

The company was using old mobile computers to manage its stock and restock its warehouse, but these were limited in terms of their development outlook.

Therefore the company decided to replace all its equipment and find a solution capable of responding to its current needs and future developments.

Houra.fr was looking for a product with the latest Windows Mobile and Microsoft operating system, so it could develop intranet applications such as, for example, checking packages on the loading docks, while still being able to use the VT100/VT200 applications already in place to manage inventories, deliveries received and restocking.

There were two products that corresponded to its requirements, one of which was the Skorpio mobile computer.

After 15 days of intensive testing in different departments, Houra.fr selected the Skorpio.

According to Datalogic Mobile, it read faster, displayed information much more clearly, had better ergonomics with regard to the keyboard and included a green spot for good read feedback.

Today, Houra.fr uses the Skorpio to manage package receiving, merchandise restocking and carry out inventories as well as provide quality control at the end of the supply chain.

The Skorpio scans the information and sends it to the main server in real time.

If an error occurs, a message is displayed on the screen of the Skorpio that shows the operator if a product is missing or switched with one not in the order.

In this case, the operator replaces the product with the correct one immediately and loads the package on the truck.

Houra.fr also uses the Skorpio to complete its inventories twice a year.
