A personal computer at your customer’s site controls all the functions of the consigned inventory.  All the consigned product is bar-coded for easy identification and as the product is received at the consigned inventory site it is scanned into the inventory in the personal computer.  As goods are pulled from the consigned stock they are again scanned which relieves them from inventory.  The usage information is transmitted automatically by the PC to the IST Software on a daily periodic basis.

The usage information received from the PC is used to create a verified sales order for the product that has been used.  A reorder process will then automatically create a transfer order to replenish the goods that need to be restocked.  On a periodic basis, the consigned

inventory file is checked to determine any product that is at the reorder point.  This process creates the Pick Ticket which is used to restock the consigned inventory location. 

This automatic process eliminates the manual steps currently required to support a consigned inventory and insures the availability of product to the customer.
