Use Cases. Shelf Inventory Management

Increased Sales Opportunity

The time interval between the schedules for conducting daily inventory can take at least 24 hours, meaning out-of-stock items may only get refilled the next day. This is a missed sales opportunity that could equate to a reasonably large loss. 

Newton provides an easy way for anyone to send an alert immediately when they find an empty shelf. All they have to do is press a button to deliver a request to refill the items. This solution allows anyone to act when they see an empty shelf, thereby increasing sales opportunities.

Significant Time Savings

Newton eliminates the need for a time-consuming inventory process and allows staff to multitask. When your team encounters an empty shelf, they can press a button even while performing other tasks, and the central server will be notified of the replenishment request. This eliminates the need for a designated inventory checker or schedule, increasing overall work efficiency.

Minimized Human Errors

Some might say that wireless communications could cause errors in transmitting data. Luckily, Newton has come up with a way to avoid this. Once a button to report an empty shelf is pressed, a green LED will start flashing to confirm the action. Newton’s real-time speed makes it all happen within one or two seconds.

When the LED doesn’t flash within one or two seconds, it means the transmission of data failed. If this occurs, staff can simply press the button again to send the request.
