If you are involved in bin stocking programs for your customers, the Remote Bin Stocking system is made to order.  Remote Bin Stocking allows you to enter the data necessary to create a sales order by utilizing a portable hand-held data terminal with an attached laser scanner while you are at a customer’s site.

Typically, the items are scanned from a bar coded label on the bin. The quantity may be entered using the keypad on the data terminal, scanned from a quantity input sheet, or it can be automatically picked up from the Bin Master File. 

Once the data has been entered in the portable data terminal, the order is communicated to the IST software either via a modem in the hand-held unit, or by attaching the hand-held unit to the computer and uploading the data. Once the data is received into the IST software, the system generates a sales order from which a pick ticket, packing list, and invoice are produced.
