My accounting program has basic inventory which is basically if you put in a purchase for an inventoried item it adds the number on then when you invoice that item it takes one away. small business basic system, works well for me, until i have to try and remember what product code i purchased something under a year ago, lol.
One company i used to work for (had very large 5000sqm+ warehouse) had a system that alloted every shelve location (about the size of a pallet) in the warehouse a code, they went in alpha/numerical order, so you could easily find your way to where you had to go. Everyone in there pretty much had a wireless handheld scanner and the backend system would tell the location of the stock items on the order you had to pick. The backend would have been a very large and very elaborate database system, but the front end was so easy to use.
