Using Telxon Scanners for Taking Inventory

Telxon scannerMost retail stores are required by law to provide an annual, audited count of their stock to tax authorities. Typically, this involves hiring temps, or outside inventory companies, or just working a lot of extra hours yourself.

WordStock's Telxon Count program enables you to use Telxon-brand hand-held scanners to take a physical inventory of your stock and then transfer the scanned information directly into WordStock's built-in Count program. You save hours of manual entry, and that saves you payroll. Telxon Count makes it practical for you to use your own staff resources to count your inventory, so you don't have to rely on outside companies.

Highlights

Scans Bookland EAN and, for WordStock 4, UPC bar codes. NB: Telxons have alphanumeric keys for entering SKUs of non-barcoded items.

Electronically upload each scanned batch into WordStock's Inventory Count Module, using a simple cable connection.

Telxons can hold up to 1000 scans before the data must be uploaded into WordStock.

Built-in "power-saver" safely shuts down the Telxons after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Rental period is up to 10 days, door to door [15 days
for non-U.S. stores, to allow for shipping and Customs].

Base rental fee is US$400, plus per-scanner rental fee of US$30; Telxon Count sells for US$250 and has a monthly software maint fee of US$3.

Customs Note for Our International Customers:

The declared value of Telxons for Customs is approx. US$1000, per unit, so you should expect appropriate customs and duty fees. These fees should be refunded when you return the Telxons to WordStock.

Please check with your broker or local DHL office for details.

Telxons are easy to use and should greatly simplify counting your stock. (You may wish to download Telxon documentation from our W.I.R.E. electronic bulletin board to get a clearer sense of how the whole process works.)

Telxon Count gives you the choice of either scanning all copies of the same item or scanning one, count the remaining, and then manually entering the number of units remaining. For example, if you're counting books and have 24 copies of a title on hand, you can scan all 24 copies, or scan one, count the balance, and then enter "23".

The period for Telxon rentals is up to 10 days, door to door. (Internationally, the rental period is extended to up to 15 days to allow time for shipping and Customs.)

We normally ship Telxons, via overnight courier service, to arrive at least 2 days before your inventory so that you can test them before you begin your inventory.

Telxon Count is an optional, extension of WordStock's Count program; it works with both WordStock 3.5 and WordStock 4. Before you can rent Telxons to use with your count, you must purchase Telxon Count software.

Due to heavy demand at certain periods of the year, especially January, February and the middle of the calendar year, rentals should be booked as early as possible. In general, we require at least 30 days advance notice and apply a $100 expedite fee to rentals not scheduled 30 days in advance. Please contact Sales for further information or to place a rental order.
