A parts count and a vehicle location use different records
Scan Solutions describes Parts Wizard for barcode-based counts and order check-in, while Vehicle Wizard uses mobile scanning for vehicle inventory. Its published vehicle functions include GPS and scan-history tracking, and its dealership connection tools can share vehicle locations, photographs, condition notes and updates. scansolutions.com
A dealer testing the system should distinguish a part-number count from locating a VIN. The same scanner action can create different records depending on the application and the inventory being controlled. scansolutions.com
