Stress-free through inventory with Integer Solutions
Every year anew – print out lists and send them to the warehouse
Inventory: Inventory (from the Latin invenire = find something or come across something) is the recording and documentation of all existing stocks. The result of every inventory is the inventory, an inventory that lists all assets and debts according to type, quantity and value. In Germany, according to German law in accordance with Section 240 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and Sections 140 and 141 of the AO, every businessman is obliged to take inventory as part of proper accounting, namely when he sets up or takes over a company, when he closes it, and at the end of each financial year.

In mobile inventory, the paper solution in the form of printed inventory lists is replaced by electronic processing using these devices.
This is what a perfect inventory looks like
Inventory involves recording and managing existing stocks and stocks and determining changes between the target and actual stocks. The record of the inventory is located in the so-called inventory. This is a comprehensive list of items that belong to a company. It is not important whether they have value or not. The entrepreneur must sign the inventory at the end.
In order to ensure information and transparency of the listing, the following points should be observed. These must be carried out for each individual product:
- The exact quantity (weight, measure, number). This is done by counting, weighing or measuring. Mathematical-statistical methods are also permitted.
- A generally valid and clear designation of the object (this can refer to the type, size or even the item number)
- Value of the unit of measurement. The inventory should have been well prepared in advance so that the inventory is understandable.
Good preparation is everything, but the tools are also crucial!
The better an inventory is prepared, the less work the managing director and his employees have to do on the balance sheet date. Often it's just small things and a lack of resources that lead to unnecessary delays on inventory day. We can help you with our products and software solution isWarehouse and isMobilinvent are there to help.
The correct inventory process should generally always be carried out as follows:
Regardless of the inventory procedure chosen (physical inventory, book inventory, asset inventory), the inventory process can basically be divided into three phases:
Inventory preparation
- Create inventory receipt
- Block materials for bookings
- Print and distribute inventory receipts
inventory
- Count inventory
- Enter the counting result in the printout of the inventory receipt
Inventory evaluation
- Record the counting result in the system
- Possibly: arrange for a recount

Inventory with barcodes makes the annoying inventory taking easier
There are events that repeat themselves regularly. Christmas and Easter are part of it, as is the recurring inventory event. However, the physical inventory of products and their comparison with the target figures is a tiresome and time-consuming issue in companies. The more it is possible to link the flow of goods with the flow of information, the easier it is to carry out inventories. Working with inventory barcodes and mobile scanners promises to make things much easier.
Barcode inventory: no comparison to manual inventory
Before the introduction of inventory with barcodes and mobile data capture, inventory was always carried out manually. The item number was noted along with the quantity. The data was recorded in a second step, resulting in an actual inventory. Incorrect numbers, illegibility and mix-ups always posed the risk of incorrect inventory information. Things that are now a thing of the past. Thanks to inventory supported by barcodes, data is captured mobile and error-free and can be further processed without a communication jam.
