Use of modern inventory management and billing system is very common in today's organised retail
industries. In the early phase of it's development only large retail chains were using hi tech inventory
management tools like bar code scanners and various types of label printer but now even small scale
industries use all or few such equipments.

The objective behind the use of modern inventory management system is to ensure error free and fast
transactions and in large retail chains without proper inventory management people may find it difficult
to cope with inventory and customers both. Instruments like cash drawer increase cash safety and
provide comfortable mode of operation. While other devices like Thermal receipt printers are free from
hassles and other technical issues.

Let's have an idea of such inventory and cash management system. Giving each product a separate
number which is normally sixteen digits long is called labeling and number printed over the product is
called barcode. Label printers are efficient printers which can print thousand of numerically identifiable
label for products. After labeling products are moved to different places like store or malls with the
information of the barcodes over a Cartridge Disk (CD). Store owners just need to insert the CD in their
systems and all the product information get loaded in system. Label printers are very important device
when it comes to label the products.


When customers purchase products then billing boy just through some light over the product barcode
and then that particular barcode get scanned and billed. Barcode scanners first work is to scan the
barcode information and then barcode scanner sends the scanned information to the system itself.
System billing software matches the bar code information given by the barcode scanners with the data
base and then bill against the product gets ready.

Cash drawer is a modern form of traditional cash boxes. Any cash drawer has separate portion for
different currency denominations like for twenty, fifty, and hundred there is a separate portion for
change. Some modern cash drawer have special feature like auto lock and auto count. In auto lock

system cash drawer gets closed automatically after cash inserted in it which prevents the chances of
theft. Auto count system in any cash drawer helps in easy management of cash.

Thermal receipt printers are like normal printers used in any retail chain for printing bills and other
important documents. We often call them heat printers as they use the heat effect of electricity for
printing. Normally any Thermal receipt printer has a heat head which gets heated at certain points when
a command from the system is released. Paper used in any Thermal receipt printer is normally heat
sensitive because of the Ink used on it's paper is heat sensitive. Thermal paper comes with the cotes of
thermal sensitive material and when this paper comes in the contact with the heated head then its color
gets changes because of the heat. Normally thermal receipt printer can print in single color that is black
but with the use of different temperatures different color combinations can be achieved like red and
blue.

Such equipments are very helpful in any retail industry because they not only provide the easy of
working but are also efficient when it comes to save time. In long run theses software are very
economical and can save a lot of money for the organization.
