Inventory Management Using the Wasp WWS500 Barcode Scanner

With the amount of inventory that runs through our business we needed a simple yet effective way of tracking all of the part numbers, serial numbers, and manufacturer’s specific product numbers.

Enter the Wasp WWS500 Bluetooth Barcode Scanner:

This little device is _so_ handy. It operates as a keyboard so we can scan volumes of product numbers into our bookkeeping system thus avoiding any typos. Because it operates as a keyboard the device is software agnostic.

We just uploaded a control sheet that we use for the barcode scanner to get it to work consistently as it can be a little finicky

The key barcode to scan if the scanner is having a hard time reconnecting its Bluetooth is the Disconnect Bluetooth code. Then run through the pairing process again. Note that the Terminator needs to be set to None otherwise scanning in the pairing code will fail.

A Six Hour Product Demonstration That Rocked!

We received a referral from one of our long standing client accounting firms to look into assessing the current network setup of one of their clients.

The principle problem at our prospective new client was the online provided comprehensive accounting suite that is filled with pain points that have not been ironed out since the online solution was deployed at their site over a year ago.

A year is a long time to live with a lot of pain and not getting to where one wants to be with any type of solution.

After a few consulting sessions with the business owner we offered the recommendation to look into the SAP Business One product. It is a solid product foundation on which to build out their entire accounting, inventory, point of sale, and eventually e-commerce business structures.

With their approval we approached SAP to find a partner that was familiar with our prospective client’s unique industry.

We were put in touch with Stephane of Forgestik.

Well, this morning Stephane and Yves of Forgestik put on an amazing demonstration of the SAP Business One product that they had customized for today’s presentation.

Stephane and Yves kept the six or seven folks in the meeting completely engaged throughout the six hours we were together in the boardroom.

Prior to today, we took the time to make sure that we understood how our prospect’s business needed to operate. That was done by having a series of interviews with the business owner as well as a few key people in the organization.

Once we had a good understanding of what was needed, Stephane went ahead with his team and built the demo that was done today.

If the deal goes ahead, we at MPECS Inc. will be providing the IT Solution that will run underneath the SAP Business One solution.

Finding and forming partnerships with those that can facilitate a solution that does not sit in our own speciality zone is a very important part of doing business.

By doing so, we augment our ability to provide a real solid IT solution that truly meets our client’s needs.
