Flexibility When Serializing
Windward Software allows you to automatically generate serial numbers for inventory when receiving stock, as well as barcodes. Our inventory management program works with both numeric and alpha-numerica numbers. If you choose, you can also enter a prefix for all serial numbers created. This eight-digit prefix can be modified at any time and serial numbers created from that time forward have the new prefix. You also have the option of selecting the number of digits you wish to left-pad the serial number assignments with.
For improved inventory management, Windward even allows you to attach a barcode to each serial numbered inventory item.
Reducing Human Error
One important option is the ability to enter the number of items to be sold on the invoice before you have selected the serial numbers. This benefits businesses that prefer to have the system force the quantity sold to match the number of serial numbers added to the invoice line. This ensures that the serial numbers are always entered and reduces the opportunity for human error.
