Overview

Mobile Data Collection (MDC) is a simple and effective data collection and barcode scanning solution that reduces the cost of warehouse and manufacturing operations. Barcode scanning increases transaction accuracy, reduces errors, and saves both time and cost.

MDC gives warehouse and factory employees a powerful tool to complete tasks faster by automating data entry on mobile devices and eliminating errors from manual data entry with barcode scanning.

The MDC app allows warehouse and factory plant employees to perform key operations from any location within the facility that has a WiFi-enabled internet connection. It integrates with your Business Central (BC) system and allows logging key warehouse operations through handheld devices. Employees gain immediate access to important transactions and documents, enabling them to complete day-to-day operations without leaving the plant floor.

MDC includes the following functionality:

  • Lookup features
  • Inventory calculation
  • Inventory movement/transfer orders
  • Warehouse Receipt/Shipment
  • Pick (including Serial Shipping Container Code: SSCC)
  • Production Output/Consumption
  • Packaging (Containerization)
