Inventory

GRiD’s foundation is inventory control. From acquisition to sale or disposal, serialized items to non-serialized items, and shipments to status updates, an inventory item’s entire life cycle is managed by the software, with full historical auditability. Using a proprietary architecture that provides a robustness and universality that no other software allows, GRiD can be implemented into any organization without the need for existing workflows, procedures, or protocols to be changed. Also, by using date-sensitive rather than object-based transactions, GRiD adapts to your business, not the other way around.
