Goods In

Wholesalers give RASCAL a file containing all of the titles and quantities sent to participating retailers each day before the delivery.

The retailers are issued with a PDA carrying a built-in barcode reader connected to the RASCAL network. Once the supplier has delivered the goods for the day, the received parcels are scanned in by the Retailer and the information is sent to the RASCAL database to be compared with the data from the wholesalers. If there are any discrepancies between what should have been delivered and what was delivered, RASCAL automatically emails the wholesaler with the detail of the discrepancy. These discrepancies can be reported down to a copy level or a parcel level, depending on what the retailer requires.

This gives the retailer total visibility of their deliveries. The retailer can see what has been delivered, and if they have more than one shop, which stores have checked in their deliveries and any discrepancies in the deliveries, such as extra parcels or copies or missing parcels or copies.
