- Reporting: Generated comprehensive reports for inventory, projects, equipment, logistics, and financial performance to facilitate data-driven decision-making.
- Picking and Counting: Enabled efficient product identification through barcode or QR code scanning, ensuring accurate tracking of quantities.
