The application of barcode is indispensable in modern large supermarket management. Large supermarkets, from vertical to horizontal, from commodity circulation, supplier selection to customer and employee management, have already made full use of barcodes.
The use of barcode is mainly reflected in the following places:
1. Management of commodity circulation;
2. Customer management;
3. Supplier management;
4. Staff management.
Commodity circulation management
The circulation of commodities in supermarkets includes: receiving, warehousing, checking warehouses, outgoing warehouses, checking prices, selling, and stocktaking, etc. The specific operations are as follows —
Receiving: The employees of the receiving department hold the wireless portable terminal, and the wireless portable terminal connected to the host through the wireless network already has the name, quantity, and article number of the goods to be received this time, and confirm the article number by scanning the barcode that comes with the goods. Then enter the quantity of the goods, and the wireless portable terminal can immediately display whether the goods meet the requirements of the order. If it meets, the goods will be sent to the warehousing step.
Inbound and outbound: In fact, the warehouse department repeats the above steps. This step is added to facilitate management and implement the responsibilities of each department. It can also prevent some goods from entering the mall directly after receiving the goods without entering the warehouse. The resulting chaos.
Pointing of warehouses: Pointing of warehouses is the most important and necessary process in the warehouse department. The warehouse staff holds the wireless portable terminal (the wireless portable terminal connected to the host via the wireless network already has the item number, placement location, specific quantity and other information of each item) scan the bar code of the item, confirm the item number, and confirm the quantity. All data will be transmitted to the host via the wireless network in real time.
Check price: Check price is a tedious task for supermarkets. Because the goods often have special offers or adjustments, confusion is easy to occur, so the salesperson carries a wireless portable terminal, a small barcode printer on his waist, and checks the changes of the goods according to the host data on the wireless portable terminal. The corresponding changes have not changed. Goods, immediately connect to a small bar code printer via a wireless portable terminal to print the new bar code label after the change, and stick it on the shelf or the goods.
Sales: Sales is the lifeblood of supermarkets, mainly through the identification of product barcodes through the POS system, which reflects equivalent exchange.
Note: The bar code label must be of good quality. One is to facilitate the scanning by the salesperson and to improve efficiency; the other is to prevent the loss caused by customers putting low-price labels on high-priced goods during checkout.
Inventory: Inventory is an important method for supermarkets to collect data, and it is also an essential task for supermarkets. In the previous inventory, the business had to be suspended for manual inventory. The impact on the business and the company’s image during the period was immeasurable. Until modern times, some supermarkets used non-business hours to require employees to work overtime to take inventory. This is only a management model for small supermarkets and is not suitable for long-term use. Moreover, the inventory cycle is long and the efficiency is low. As a representative of a large-scale supermarket in the world, its inventory method has been improved as necessary. It is mainly divided into two parts: sampling and inventory: sampling refers to daily sampling inventory. Divide several times a day, and the computer host will randomly instruct the salesperson to go to which shelf number to check the goods. The salesperson only needs to hold the wireless portable terminal in hand, follow the host’s instructions transmitted through the wireless network, go to the shelf number, scan the barcode of the specified product, check the product after confirming it, and then transmit the information to the host through the wireless portable terminal. Then perform data analysis. As the name suggests, the entire inventory is the entire store inventory. It is a kind of regular inventory. The supermarket is divided into several areas, which are handled by different salespersons. They also receive instructions from the host through the wireless portable terminal. The goods are counted according to the specified route and in the specified order, and then the inventory data is continuously transmitted back to the host. , The normal operation of the supermarket is not affected at all during the inventory period. Because of the usual sampling and regular full disks and all the work is to exchange data with the host in real time, the accuracy of the data on the host is very high, and the operation of the entire supermarket is also clear at a glance.
Customer management
The use of barcodes to manage customers is mainly used in membership supermarkets. The main process is as follows: if a new customer wants to shop in a membership-based supermarket, he must first go to the customer service center to fill in the membership form, and the service center immediately takes pictures of the customer through the NBS barcode image card system, and images the barcode within 8 seconds The membership card is issued to the customer. The card will have the customer’s color photo, membership number, serial number barcode, joining time, category, unit and other information. Customers enter the supermarket to purchase goods with the card. They must present this membership card at checkout. The cashier confirms the membership identity by scanning the barcode on the card, and can store the member’s purchase information in the member database for future use. The main advantages of using barcode cards for management in membership supermarkets are: low cost, high efficiency, and accurate information.
Supplier Management
The use of barcodes to manage suppliers is mainly to require suppliers to have barcodes for their goods in order to carry out cargo tracking services. Suppliers must clearly reflect the meaning of the barcode to the supermarket, and the supermarket will gradually place orders through the barcode of the goods.
Note: In modern society, information is essential. And because supermarkets use barcodes to manage goods and customers, they have a lot of accurate market supply and demand information. In foreign countries, supermarkets will sell this information to suppliers and market research companies to profit from it.
Staff management
The use of bar codes to manage employees is mainly used in administrative management. As a supermarket, it is really wise to use the existing equipment in the supermarket for administrative management. The supermarket will use the existing NBS barcode image card system to create an employee card for each employee. The card contains the employee’s color photo, employee number, name, department, ID barcode and various unique marks. Employees must wear an employee card during working hours and use the barcode on the employee card to cooperate with the attendance system for attendance records. The employee’s salary payment, material picking and data proofreading and other departments that require identity certification are equipped with barcode scanners. Scan the ID barcode on the employee card to determine the employee’s identity.
As a kind of information carrier, barcode has been widely used in life. As a modern large supermarket, it is imperative to make full use of barcode technology for management. Combined with advanced computer technology and automatic identification technology, it will definitely improve the management level of supermarkets. , So that the administrative structure of the supermarket can be streamlined, reducing work intensity and manpower. Clear information on the purchase, sale, inventory and flow of goods is essential to stabilize the seasonal changes in the supermarket. The real-time collection of product information will speed up the operation frequency of the supermarket and accurately report the various data of the supermarket.
Therefore, knowing how to make full use of advanced bar code technology for comprehensive supermarket management is an important issue for China’s retail industry today.
