2019 Review of WASP Inventory Cloud

WASP Inventory Cloud from WASP Barcode Technologies is a good fit for mid-sized to larger retail businesses. Along with excellent inventory management capability, WASP Inventory Cloud also includes Sales, Purchasing, and Production capability. WASP also continues to offer their flagship on-premise inventory solution, with three versions of the on-premise solution available. A mobile app is also included in WASP Inventory Cloud that works with both iOS and Android smart phones and tablets.

Like all WASP applications, WASP Inventory Cloud offers an intuitive user interface that is designed to integrate with other WASP applications. Users can easily add a new product in WASP Inventory Cloud manually, assigning a unique number to each product, or have a number assigned automatically. A check-in/check-out inventory option is also available for businesses that assign internal inventory or assets to specific locations or employees. Users can track inventory by serial number, lot number, product name, date, or even pallet, and those using another inventory system can easily import their current inventory list directly into WASP Inventory Cloud.

Users can easily set minimum and maximum stock levels, handle drop-shipments and request notification when stock levels drop below a pre-determined level, and the system can automatically allocate stock to pick orders so that it is no longer displayed as available.

WASP Inventory Cloud supports multiple warehouses, multiple delivery addresses, and multiple price tiers for all products. Users can categorize products into specific groups, and multiple pricing tiers are supported as well. Each warehouse can be managed separately, with notifications set per warehouse rather than per product, and users can easily adjust inventory levels up and down, assigning a specific reason for the adjustment.

Custom barcodes can be created for any inventory product using WASP Labeler, with users able to then print out the codes as needed. Users can also utilize the barcode scanning capability in WASP Inventory Cloud to quickly check in and check out large numbers of products.

WASP Inventory Cloud allows users to easily add product images and other related documents directly to any product file. The product also supports both kitting and product assembly. New in WASP Inventory Cloud, users can now track inventory by container, with users able to determine the exact makeup of each container, which can include pallets, cartons, trucks, or freight boxes. Users can set multiple pricing levels for each product, including the original cost, list price and sales price, with pricing models created for specific customers if desired. Those using WASP’s point of sale application can utilize additional pricing options.

WASP Inventory Cloud offers a good selection of reports to choose from, with reports available in a variety of categories including Audit, Customer, Transaction, Item, Inventory, Purchase Order, and Pick Order, along with several more. Users can schedule reports in advance, design a new report using the Report Builder function or reset the report to the previous parameters. Users can also export any report to a CSV file for further customization if desired.

A variety of applications are available that integrate with WASP Inventory Cloud, including WASP Barcode, Asset Cloud, WASP Professional Point of Sale, WASP Package Tracking, and WASP Time & Attendance. WASP also offers a variety of pre-bundled options that can be purchased together. WASP Inventory Cloud does not currently integrate with any online shopping carts or e-commerce platforms at this time.

WASP Inventory Cloud offers users a good selection of help and support options. A searchable knowledgebase is available for users, as is quick access to product upgrades and enhancements. There are also a variety of on-demand tutorials that cover both WASP hardware and software. Additional training options such as On-Site and Web-Based training options are also available. Users can create a support ticket from the website or contact support via the toll-free number. Email and chat support options are also available.
