At InControl we have developed technology to give managers the flexibility of responding to back office and till transaction tasks even when mobile on the shop floor. As well as being able to complete real-time stock counting, shelf edge auditing and mobile label production, managers are able to respond better to the needs of the store. By freeing managers from the constraints of the back office, they can carry out the essential duties whilst maintaining an important visible presence.

Key capabilities of the InHand mobile unit include:

• Full Order Review Capability
• Promotional Point of Sale Checking - ensures compliance
• Intelligent Reduced to Clear (RTC) - with mobile "was/now" ticket production
• Stock-Counting Functionality
• Queue Busting Basket Scanning Ability

Putting managers in sight of employees enabled them to respond better to customer and employee needs, improving the efficiency of the store. Remote authorisation for restricted transactions or operational requirements provides a better service for till operators and customers as it is no longer required for managers to physically arrive at the till for authorisation or notifications.

The InHand unit effectively processes reduced to clear stock. With all sell by dates recorded on the system, the InHand unit can scan and automatically print the correct reduction. This has worked to effectively minimise wastage on reduced items by offering the most appropriate reduction in price. The InHand unit is able to complete real time stock counting functionality including analysing data for financial reporting.

Managers can use the InHand unit at peak store period to reduce queue times using the queue busting technology. Basket items can be pre-scanned by the managers and a ticket printed for scanning at the till to reduce transaction times meaning your stores can process more sales in less time.

The InHand Product Information unit gives your managers the tools needed to maintain efficient business operations whilst being able to be mobile on the shop floor.
