01 Your stock and your work
Five things Beam keeps track of.
What you have, where it is, what your team needs to do and what has already happened.
- 01 Product
What it is: code, description, barcode. From your system, or managed in Beam.
Dalen dining chair green · DAL-01-GRN - 02 Quantities or individual items
Track how many chairs you have, or give each chair its own code so you can follow it individually.
24 chairs · or one chair with its own code - 03 Location
Where products are stored: the site, zone or rack. A pallet or container groups products together and has a location of its own.
Manchester › Zone B › Rack B › B-11 - 04 Work
What needs to happen: a receipt, count, pick or move, as a task for a colleague.
Pick task ORD-30412 · Nora Bennett - 05 Proof
What happened: every action in the activity log, with who, what, where and when.

02 Scanning
Read RFID labels with a handheld or a fixed reader.
Scan barcodes one item at a time, using a phone or scanner. With RFID, read multiple labelled items at once.
02
Fixed RFID reading zone
Read RFID labels at a doorway, scan table or returns point. For returns, Beam uses the link made at dispatch to identify the customer or location they came from. Each read zone is configured and tested.

04 Control
Spot differences and resolve them.
Beam compares your count or scan with the expected stock or order. You can see which items need checking.
- Expected, but not seen
- Check the expected location and use the RFID handheld to search if needed. Record a reason for any correction.
- Seen, but not expected
- Unexpected items stay visible so you can check whether they belong to this order or location.
- Wrong location or status
- Correct with a reason. The history remains, also after the correction.
- Incomplete pick, delivery or return
- Stays open and is never quietly reported complete. Someone decides.
