Bar Code Scanning
|
|
|
At
H. D. Smith, we are constantly striving to find ways to save you time. One way
we have achieved this is by incorporating bar code scanning in OrderBase III to
streamline the ordering process. Utilizing an MSI device or scanning wand
automates the time consuming process of keying items. By scanning the bar codes
(UPC/NDC codes) on products or shelf labels to create an order, you will
spend less time keying your orders, leaving you more time to fill your
customers’ needs.

E-Receiving |

Streamline
your receiving process and get your product on the shelf faster utilizing the
H. D. Smith e-receiving service. The e-receiving process automates the tedious
process of checking off each item on the invoice as you pull it from the tote.
Also available in OrderBase III is the ability to utilize license plate
technology. Rather than scanning each item received in an order, you can scan
the license plate to receive all items within that tote.

Forward Fill Orders |

the designated distribution center does not carry a specific SKU. When that
occurs, H. D. Smith provides an automatic transfer so the item can be shipped
from another H. D. Smith distribution center.
