Winecode, a wine management application for business use, Inventory function completely revamped - "split inventory" for inventory that does not stop business

Relation Design Institute, Inc. (Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture; President: Masahiko Sakakibara) has completely renewed the inventory function of its business wine management application "winecode" and started offering a "split inventory" function that allows work to be divided by space, time, or staff unit. This makes it easier to conduct inventories at sites where multiple sites and staff handle many different types and numbers of wines. In addition, we have also launched a search function that allows users to search for wine and producer names across multiple groups, and to speed up the entire application.

On the same day, the company also launched a search function for wine and producer names across multiple groups and an application-wide speed-up function.

The company updated "winecode," a wine management application for business use, and completely revamped the inventory function.

The new system is designed so that users can check the list while switching storage locations within the store, and then immediately move on to the next bottle.

Unstocked wines can be seen at a glance - no more confusion about where to start.

The inventory list is arranged based on the last inventory date, and wines checked on the same day are displayed together. Wines that have not yet been inventoryd will be consolidated at the top of the list, and wines that have not been inventoryd for a long time will be displayed at the top of the list.

This allows you to immediately notice any unaddressed issues or issues that have not been checked.

winecode No more wondering where to start!

You don't have to finish all at once - "split inventory".

It is difficult to complete the inventory of all bottles at once in a store that has many brands. In this renewal, we designed the system so that the inventory operation can be divided along the following three axes, which can be combined according to the size of the store and the shift system.

1. Divide by shelf/area (spatial axis): "Only this shelf today," "Only this area this week," and so forth, allowing the scope of work to be divided by storage location.

2. Dividing the work by day (time axis): The work is displayed by date, with "unchecked wine" at the top of the list, so that you can always see how much has been done, even if you are working on it in your free time before or after business hours.

3. Multiple staff can work on the same session at the same time (human axis) ─ Multiple staff can work on the same session at the same time, which reduces the work time even in large stores.

These three axes can be used in combination. For example, "Mr. A and Mr. B can count backyard items in parallel, and the cellar staff can work on a different shift the next day," thus reducing the workload on the shop floor.

Some of the stores using the new system have switched from once-a-year inventory counts to monthly inventory counts due to the heavy inventory burden.

Voice from a store that introduced the new system: "We can proceed without hesitation even during business hours.

(winecode has been adopted by several restaurants, wine stores, and importers, including Michelin-listed restaurants.)

French restaurant "Le Benaton

In the past, it was unclear among staff which wine was counted last, causing them to review the same shelf several times and, conversely, to overlook brands that had not been touched for a long time. With the new inventory function, all the unchecked wines appear together at the top of the list, so there is no more confusion about where to start, even in the limited time before and after business hours.

It's really helpful to be able to divide the inventory into sections and say, "I can't do everything today, so I'm just going to take care of this shelf. It is very helpful to be able to divide the inventory into sections and say, 'I can't do it all today, so I'll just do this shelf.' I can see where I am and where I need to go, so I can have shorter conversations when I hand over to another staff member.

Cross-search and speeding up daily operations

In addition to the renewal of the inventory function, the following functional updates will also be provided. 1.

1. wine search across multiple groups

Even if you are operating separate groups for each store or team, you can now search for wines across all groups to which you belong. When you want to search by brand name or producer, you no longer need to switch groups and search again and again. For example, you can check with a single search to see if a seller at another location still has stock.

winecode You can see where it is in one search.

2. speed up the entire app

In order to reduce the waiting time for daily operations such as switching screens and displaying lists, the internal processing of the application has been reviewed to speed up the entire operation.
