Oracle this week announced a new application within Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Supply Chain Management suite. PeopleSoft Mobile Inventory Management is designed to improve inventory accuracy and labour productivity by automating mobile inventory transactions for users of Microsoft Windows-enabled mobile devices and handheld scanners.
By enabling users to enter and access information on inventory availability, process receipts and issues and do physical inventory counts without having to change station or work location, Oracle says that the new application will streamline inventory management processes and increases user mobility and convenience. Direct integration with PeopleSoft Enterprise Inventory and Fulfillment Management can further increase efficiencies and inventory accuracy in real-time and at the point of use.
The new application was developed after extensive one-on-one interviews with a number of Oracle’s leading Healthcare Provider customers as well as collaboration with Focus Groups comprised of members of Healthcare, Distribution and Manufacturers User Groups. It was tailored to help healthcare institutions effectively manage inventory and receipt of supplies critical to the delivery of high quality care. While the initial product is tailored for healthcare providers, any PeopleSoft Inventory Management customer with inbound logistics and physical inventory requirements can benefit from the solution.
“By integrating mobile devices, organizations can improve data accuracy, increase mobility and streamline inventory management processes,” said Paco Aubrejuan, group vice president and general manager, Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise. “PeopleSoft Mobile Inventory Management was developed with several of our customers and demonstrates Oracle’s continued investment in delivering significant new product capabilities across the entire PeopleSoft Enterprise suite. It also is the first Oracle application to be released using Oracle ADF Mobile. By using Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, we are able to better extend the PeopleSoft applications to provide strong new products to our customers – and to develop them at a much quicker rate than if we did not have this technology at our fingertips.”
