Weclapp as an alternative to JTLs

Nowadays, an inventory management system is essential to ensure efficiency, agility and practicality for companies. Maintaining control over the goods in stock is of great importance to ensure a good sales volume and thus optimize operating costs.

An inventory management system brings the following benefits to your business:

• Financial savings and higher team productivity
• Time optimization, as the purchasing process is significantly simplified
• it avoids out-of-stock and ensures operational reliability
• it improves your relationships with suppliers
• Process chain optimization
• Automation and elimination of redundant steps
• Loss prevention
• Error reduction

Modernizing the organization helps to simplify and automate daily operational tasks. In this way, technology is a differentiating factor to improve the productivity of employees and the organization. An efficient inventory management system usually offers the following functions:

• Inventory and warehouse management
• Management of warehouse locations
• Incoming and outgoing goods inspection
• Production and material planning
• Efficient reports
• Prices
• Best before date
• Supplier data and much more

Manual processes lead to errors more easily. In the case of stock, for example, a failure means financial loss. Given the options available on the market, it is therefore ideal to implement effective management software. In this article, we take a look at two popular pieces of software: JTL-WaWi and Weclapp.
