Mobile Store v Coloseum Restaurants

Ensuring warehouse movements using the Mobile Store software package and CipherLAB CP30 terminals

The Mobile Store software package has been successfully deployed in eleven Coloseum Restaurants locations - the systema warehouse management system that automates barcode-based warehouse management. Mobile Store ensures the recording of any movement of goods in the warehouses (receipt, issue, transfer, inventory, etc.), then the processed goods records are reflected in the client's ERP system.

The first part of the implementation took place in the central warehouse and Pizza Coloseum Na Poříčí in January 2013, followed by other locations: Koruna, Palác Myslbek, Zlatý Anděl, Legerova, Budějovická, Průhonice, Národní and Nová Karolina.

The deployed data collection system is in off-line mode, without the need to connect to the client's network. Data synchronization between the CipherLAB CP30 portable terminals and the ERP system is handled by an application installed on a computer connected to the LAN. The application, after detecting the connection of the portable terminal to the PC, transfers the completed documents for each warehouse document/operation from the device and updates the warehouse, customer and goods dials in the terminal.

Data security and the possibility of tracing the user who created the document is ensured by entering the name and password when starting the Mobile Store in the terminal. The application can be operated easily using the easy-to-read 3.2" touchscreen, while a fast processor, ample memory and an integrated laser reader module ensure agility and accuracy.

After the operator logs in and starts a new document, the user retrieves the commodity code (search is supported by multiple codes belonging to the same type of goods), the display shows the name of the item for checking and the number of pieces can be entered. By confirming the number, the Mobile Store application allows searching for the next item or closing the document. The content of the document in progress can be freely browsed and individual lines can be edited (modifying counts, adding and deleting items...).

After the user finishes the document, a file with the content of the document is created in the memory of the device, which is inserted into the cradle using the import report of the MS_Dispatcher application .NET file is transferred to the PC, converted into its final form and is available for processing by the client's warehouse system.
