Logistical Benefits

  • Handheld Devices: When you are doing work in a warehouse, you don’t want to be carrying around bulky laptops, or pages of reports.  Nor do you want to have to memorize information from a computer screen, and try to remember what you saw on the computer while walking around the warehouse.  Having a small, handheld device that holds all of the information can be helpful for completing your warehousing tasks in a simpler, more efficient way.
  • Scan or Key Data: LilyPad Mobile Warehouse will allow you to scan barcodes throughout your warehouse in order to perform your needed activities.  Or, if you don’t have a barcode available, you can type in the information you need.
  • Scan Master Pack Quantities: If your inventory comes in Master Packs (a package that is then broken down into your standard Units of Measure), LilyPad Mobile Warehouse gives you the ability to scan the Master Pack, and then the inventory is automatically received at the correct quantity and Unit of Measure.
  • 2D Barcode Scanning: 2D barcoding is becoming more common in almost every industry.  And guess what: LilyPad Mobile Warehouse allows you to scan 2D barcodes, as well as 1D barcodes.
  • Mobile Custom Reports:  For those of you who like to see reports while in the warehouse, LilyPad Mobile Warehouse gives you access to the reports that you need.

LilyPad Mobile Sales

LilyPad Mobile Sales, or LMS for short, gives you the ability to take Fishbowl Inventory to your customers.  This can be especially helpful for those of you who have an outside sales force.  LilyPad Mobile Sales can be used on a tablet or smart phone, and will allow your sales people to create orders while they are on-site with your customers.

Another great feature of LilyPad Mobile Sales is the ability to create users for your customers.  In other words, your customers can log onto your system, and place orders themselves.  They don’t have to call, email, or fax (do people still do that?) an order to you.  Instead, they log into LilyPad Mobile Sales, place their order, and within moments, the order is in Fishbowl Inventory.

This can be a huge time saver!  And, it helps reduce the problems of manual order entry.
