It sounds like you need basic inventory management. input, storage, output.

A. Input - when new items come in they're received. When you receive you print a item label and depending on how much you want to spend, have directed putaway "put this item in aisle b row 2" Or "cabinet b, shelf 2" Or if your volume is low enough you could scan the item barcode, then the barcode of the location as you put it away wherever you want. (obviously this means you need to barcode your locations as well, be it shelves or aisles or buildings.)

B. Storage - At the end of either process you have Item (with all it's details that you entered, size, price, photo etc.. whatever you want) and you have it's location.

C. Output - On sale, you pick/ship the item (even it that's just pulling it from inventory and handing it to someone who just bought it)

At this point you can show (most WMS's have a portal) what inventory is where and how much of it there is.

In addition, you now have lifecycle historicals on these objects and can do fun Business Intelligence stuff with that data in the future. (How long do watches normally take to auction off, what item gets damaged in storage the most, what is the average storage time/space that's not billed for etc.. etc..etc..)

Depending on your budget, there are systems that can do all of this, and a ton more. but I'm assuming you're looking for something in the lower end. I suggest you build a list of options you want/need and browse this list: List of major WMS systems

This is a pretty extensive list, but I'd suggest Fishbowl, Delivrd, inflow, and Zenventory based on first blush.

Also, I've worked with people at auction houses before. One suggestion I have is to make sure you get removable labels and/or string tags with barcodes if you're tracking them. (don't cause item damage on add/removal, customers appreciate that)

Hi there dewfaced. I work for a company called Brightpearl. We offer exceptional warehouse management as standard. Take a look here: https://www.brightpearl.com/order-fulfillment-software.

Talked to a friend about this (he does party rentals) They use software called "Bounce Rental" (for bounce houses/party supplies etc..) Went looking for more information and found this: <strong>List of Rental mgmt software</strong> It seems there's a pretty wide field of stuff out there. I think you may just have to hunker down and wade through that data and see what fits you.

I'm looking for such software as well. Recently came across with https://www.deputy.com, it's a paid software and seems pretty basic. Anyone has any recommendation for a software that is able to include payroll for employees as well as input daily sales?

Hy,

do want to send the F- Keys based on the barcodes that you scan (so have a barcode for F1, another F2) or do you just want to terminate every scanned barcode with a function key?

Just try out if our app barValid can help you:

barValid on google play store

barValid website and download of PC software

The app allows you to scan barcodes with your smartphone and send them via web to a PC. On the PC you can add a suffix like CR, F1, F2, ... or other keys.

Let me know if this helps you
