Chapter 3 - Business Examples
3.1 About Our Business Examples
Throughout the help topics you will see links to business examples. These examples outline three
hypothetical companies that represent generic business models and how each would commonly use this
product. Find the example company that most closely resembles your business and study the scenario
included for it in each section of this document. Remember that even though one the example
companies may not exactly match your business, these example are broad enough that at least one
should encompass all or part of your business needs.
Each of the three companies uses a different version of InventoryControl. The three versions are:
 Standard - Contains a wide range of options to help you track your inventory including automatic
notification of low-stocked items, check in/out capabilities, add/remove feature, tracking and audit
as well as full access to mobile devices.
 Professional - All of the features of the Standard version plus it allows for multiple PC's on the
network to run InventoryControl. Pick Order, Purchase Order and Receiving capabilities are
available along with the ability to assign multiple suppliers to each item.
 Enterprise - The top-of-the-line package, Enterprise incorporates all of the benefits of the
Professional edition and is installed on your company's SQL server.
Note: Even though our example distribution company is using the Enterprise version of InventoryControl,
this does not necessarily mean that all distribution companies should use this version. The version of
InventoryControl used should be based on your business needs, rather than your business type.
3.2 Business Example Overviews
Distributing - Enterprise Version of InventoryControl
Basic Needs:
 Multiple Sites and Locations
 Multiple computers running InventoryControl
 Multiple mobile devices in each Location
 Preferred suppliers for items
 Item tracking by serial number and pallet code
 Pick, Receive, Move, Adjust, Add, Remove and Audit at the PC and on the mobile devices
Sebastian Distributing has been in business for many years and has previously used a different inventory
software. They have a great deal of inventory in multiple warehouses that they need to manage with
InventoryControl. Each warehouse will be a site with multiple locations. The supervisor of each
warehouse will use a computer equipped with InventoryControl, but the general manager will be the one
who has full administrative privileges. In addition, they have preferred suppliers they would like to
associate with each item in their system and will be creating pick and purchase orders as needed. To
accommodate all of these needs, they have purchased the Enterprise version of InventoryControl.
Workers in the warehouses will be issued handheld mobile devices to scan barcode labels when
receiving goods from suppliers and picking goods for shipment.
