Physical Inventories
Physical inventories are performed on a planned interval. This system provides the advantages of real-time inventory management and allows physical inventories to occur at times when activity is dormant.
Automated Noticing
When any stock item balance falls below the trigger quantity, contacts are automatically emailed a notice to reorder the item. This email is repeated weekly until the stock item is replenished. Automated notifications are also sent when stock items are received. Any number of contacts may be added to this email notification list.
Usage Analysis
Access-Direct will compute and display the average monthly usages, number of pulls and adds of each stock item. This information is used to plan and adjust ordering amounts and timings to optimize and lower acquisition and holding costs.

Inventory is updated in real time as stock is used for mailings or fulfillment of any kind. Items are automatically allocated once a process is approved. Your items' quantities are always up-to-the-minute correct.
Images of Each Item
Access-Direct provides images of every stock and inventory item. These images can be seen when mailings and other fulfillment tasks are being specified or approved.
