Welcome to the Distribution Team's Gateway to Knowledge

The Distribution Team thinks you should know!

We keep mentioning bar codes (and now RFID). Why? Because the ability to automatically record the number of a product received, shipped, sold at the counter, used at a job site, or counted during a physical inventory is vital to inventory control. And bar code is the simplest, least expensive way to do just that. Not to confuse the issue but another new technology, called RFID, may also have some application in companies like yours.

Maybe you owe it to yourself and your company to find out more about how bar codes and RFID work, new ways to use them to save money, how to implement the systems that use them.
