RETAIL | ASIA | BARCODE + 2D Enhance Store operational efficiency for a Chain Convenience Store

Background
 
The international chain convenience store currently has 12,000 stores in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Los Angeles and other places. Based on the unique and advanced franchise management system, the chain convenience store adheres to the brand aim of providing consumers with convenience and becomes one of the most satisfying convenience store brands for consumers. With the continuous expansion, it urgently needs intelligent devices to manage warehouses, storefronts and supply chain with high efficiency.
 

Challenges
        
  • There are many types of products in convenience stores, which requires a lot of manpower and time.
  • The real-time inventory information cannot be transmitted. As a result, staffs cannot search goods quickly and find optimal location for goods.
  • The statistics of the goods are more troublesome and cannot be timely updated to ensure a sufficient supply of goods.
  • Managers have difficulty collecting data in the chain stores. The headquarters cannot obtain the sales data of each chain store in time, which hinders the timely adjustment of inventory configuration and related strategies.
 
Solution
 
Chainway handheld terminals are deployed in the chain convenience store in Taiwan, successfully solving the above problems. Firstly, each product is equipped with a barcode electronic tag as a unique identity. During the processes of receiving and delivery, you can obtain the product information by scanning the product tag. Meanwhile, the information can be uploaded to the management system, significantly increase the efficiency of inventory and supply chain management.
 

Effects
 
  • The application of handheld PDA significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of inventory and reduces the workload for work staffs.
  • It eliminates the manual operation to allow intelligent receiving and delivery during the sorting process, which promotes the high-speed operation of distribution and ensures the timely replenishment.
  • Managers can capture the front-end sales status and order data of chain stores in real time, so as to make sales decisions and adjust sales strategies accordingly.
  • It improves the management and service of convenience stores, further strengthens the unified management of the stores and boosts the brand image.
