Store Inventory Management (SIM) Business Essentials 13.1

Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management (SIM) allows store personnel to quickly and easily perform an array of in-store operations to receive merchandise, manage physical inventories, conduct stock counts, order stock, or transfer stock, ship and receive, handle Direct store Delivery, and pricing and printing of labels and tickets. SIM provides store employees with the information and flexible capabilities that are needed to convert shoppers into buyers and maintain optimal inventory levels. It enables floor-based inventory management through the use of mobile devices and store PCs. The handheld mobile device (simply handheld from now on) enables the user to bring powerful software that normally runs in the back office to the shop floor and backroom increasing efficiency and enabling retail best practices. The handheld is used for capturing and validating data. The data can then be sent to external systems, including the corporate level merchandising or warehousing system.
