JAMS CAPABILITY / ASSET CONTROL

Shop Scanner & Inventory Check

Scan the physical store in minutes, compare what is detected with what JAMS expects, and surface missing or changed inventory before the issue becomes difficult to investigate.

KNOW WHAT YOU OWN—AND WHERE IT IS

Asset control is one of the most important jobs in a high-value retail business.

A jewellery-store owner or manager needs to know what stock is physically present, which items are missing, and whether anything has changed since the last control point. If a high-value item disappears, discovering the problem quickly can make the difference between investigating it while the facts are fresh and trying to reconstruct events days later.

Traditional manual inventory checks are slow, repetitive and prone to counting or recording errors. For stores with large numbers of products, a full manual count can become operationally difficult to perform frequently.

FAST SHOP-WIDE INVENTORY CHECK

Scan the floor. Compare the result. Investigate the exceptions.

JAMS uses RFID scanning to reduce the amount of manual handling required to perform a physical inventory check.

01Start the inventory check

Open the Shop Scanner workflow and use a compatible RFID reader to begin scanning the physical store.

02Detect tagged items

The reader captures RFID identities from the jewellery items within its effective scanning range.

03Compare with expected stock

JAMS compares the detected identities with the inventory that the system expects to be present.

04Surface missing items

Products expected by the system but not detected during the scan are brought forward for investigation.

05Re-scan & verify

Staff can scan again, move through different zones or inspect specific display areas to rule out missed reads.

06Close the check

The manager can review the result, investigate exceptions and retain the completed inventory-check history.

EARLY MISSING-ITEM DETECTION

Find the problem while there is still time to act.

If an item is missing, stolen, misplaced or moved without being recorded correctly, a fast inventory check can bring the exception to management attention much sooner than waiting for the next manual stocktake.

The system does not determine why an item is missing; it identifies the discrepancy so authorised staff can immediately begin the appropriate investigation.

DAILY CONTROL POINTS

Inventory checks can become part of the normal working day.

A quick scan at opening can establish what is physically present before trading begins. Another check can be performed during a staff handover, after an unusually busy period, or before closing.

Because RFID reduces the time and manual effort required, managers can perform these control checks more frequently than would usually be practical with a traditional item-by-item count.

SHIFT & AREA HANDOVER

Make responsibility for high-value stock easier to hand over.

Where staff work in shifts or are responsible for specific zones, showcases or departments, an inventory scan can create a practical control point when responsibility passes from one employee or team to another.

Instead of relying only on a verbal handover, both sides can work from a physical scan of the inventory assigned to that area.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

Spend less time counting and more time investigating what actually matters.

Manual inventory control consumes staff time every time the business needs assurance that its physical stock is complete. RFID scanning can reduce that repetitive workload and make more frequent checks operationally realistic.

The actual scanning time depends on store layout, reader type, tag placement, environmental conditions and inventory volume, but the objective is the same: reduce repetitive manual handling while improving the frequency and consistency of asset checks.

HUMAN REVIEW REMAINS ESSENTIAL

RFID finds discrepancies. People determine what they mean.

A tag may occasionally be missed because of reader range, orientation, shielding, environment or handling conditions. A missing read should therefore trigger re-scanning and investigation rather than an automatic conclusion that an item has been stolen or lost.

JAMS provides the control information; authorised staff and management remain responsible for investigating exceptions and deciding what operational or security action is appropriate.
