Item Management

Register once, manage forever

Every item in your organization gets a unique RFID identity. Import from your ERP, print a tag, and from that moment you know exactly what you have, where it is, and what happened to it.

Know exactly what you have, where it is, and what happened to it

Connect your system, tag your items

Import your items from your ERP, CSV, or Excel. Each item gets a unique RFID tag with its own tracking number tied to your organization. Print labels directly from Beam, one by one or thousands at a time. From that moment, every item is a managed digital entity.

  • Import from ERP, CSV, or Excel
  • Unique RFID tracking number per item
  • Print labels directly from Beam
  • Batch tagging for large inventories

No more guessing. No more gaps between your system and your warehouse. Every item is traceable, every movement is logged, and your ERP stays in sync automatically. The result: fewer write-offs, faster operations, and decisions based on reality.

Why Beam?

One platform for your entire inventory operation

Item Management is the foundation of Beam. Once items have a digital identity, every other capability works automatically: locate items on a map, verify orders by scanning, count stock in minutes, and trace every movement. No separate tools, no manual bridges.

Inventory via RFID has given us significant time savings and accuracy. We are very happy with this more efficient business operation.

OutdoorXL, a large outdoor store with an assortment of over 200,000 unique items, was looking for a solution to perform inventory counts faster and more accurately.

Frequently asked questions

Barcodes identify a product type. Every unit of the same product has the same barcode. RFID gives each individual item its own unique number. That means you can distinguish between 500 identical shirts and track each one separately, where it is, where it's been, and what happened to it.

Beam connects to your ERP via API or scheduled file exchange. New products in your ERP automatically appear in Beam. Stock corrections from Beam (after a stocktake, for example) flow back to your ERP. You keep using your existing system while Beam adds the physical RFID layer.

Yes. Upload a CSV or Excel file with your items and they appear in Beam immediately. Article codes, descriptions, stock levels, categories, and custom fields all transfer. Most customers are up and running within a day.

EPC stands for Electronic Product Code. It's a globally unique number encoded on each RFID chip. Unlike a barcode (which is the same for every unit of a product), an EPC is unique to each individual item. This is what allows Beam to track items individually rather than just counting quantities.

Not necessarily. Beam supports both RFID tracking (unique tag per item) and amount-based tracking (counting quantities without individual tags). You choose per product category what level of tracking you need. High-value or loss-prone items typically get individual tags.

Most organizations import their items and start tagging within a day. There's no migration project or IT integration required to begin. You can connect your ERP later and start with manual import or CSV upload right away.
