We here at Production Software have created something unique that will change the world forever.
It is called PRESTOCK and it a storage management system!!!
PreStock
What??
PreStock
That is nothing unique. There are lots of storage management systems.
We did a large survey and found out that all storage management systems have one problem.
PreStock
Reception of goods. Things get lost in reception.

Delivery man Frank brings in new goods. Warehouse worker Bob receives it...
...and signs the truck book.
Sign here please.
Bob takes delivered goods into the storage. He will input the data to ERP system later, when there is time for it.
Hi, its Joe from Joe's shop. Is my order ready for pickup now?
A customer calls production manager Jim.
??!
Nope. Actually -- we haven't even started them yet. We are still missing some raw materials.
Hello Jessica. We should deliver 100 thingies to Joe's shop but there are no No.7 widgets. I ordered more two weeks ago, but haven't got any.
Jim calls purchasing manager Jessica.
I know I ordered them from Galveston Widgets and they say they delivered those to use on Monday. Computer does not know anything about them though. There must be something wrong with ERP.
I will call the Computer guy.
Hey, this is Jessica. There is something wrong with the Computer again. It will not tell me where Galveston No.7 widgets are.
Jessica calls the Computer guy.
OK. I will check it.
Galveston No.7 widgets? Well, I think we got some just a few days ago. Dunno where they are.
The Computer guy goes and asks Bob.
If they had had PreStock
