Stores

The Stores module allows the Tenant Admin to manage store locations where devices are physically stored before being placed into lockers or assigned.

A Store can represent:

• A physical warehouse
• A branch office
• A storage room
• A regional inventory location

Stores help organize inventory before distribution.

Stores Overview

The Stores List Page displays all configured stores.

Each store shows:

• Store Code – Unique identifier
• Store Name – Friendly name
• Devices Present – Number of devices currently assigned
• Actions – View / Edit / Devices

This provides a quick summary of inventory distribution across locations.

Create Store

Stores must be created before devices can be assigned to them.

1. Click Create Store.

2. Enter:

   • Store Code (Unique identifier)
   • Store Name

   

3. Click Create.

4. Confirm in the popup.

Devices Under Store

Each store contains devices assigned to it.

Steps:

1. Click Devices under a store.

2. View all associated devices.

   

The list displays:

• Device Code
• Device Name
• Device Location

This helps the admin:

• Monitor store-level inventory
• Identify devices ready for locker placement
• Track maintenance return inventory
• Manage stock redistribution between stores

Store and Device Movement Relationship

Stores act as central inventory points.

Common movement flows involving stores:

• Store → Store (Inventory transfer)
• Store → Locker (via Drop-off Request)
• locker → Store (via Pick-up Request)

Stores do not require QR interaction unless the device is being moved or into a locker.

Best Practice Guidelines

For efficient inventory management:

• Keep sufficient devices in lockers for active demand.
• Monitor Low Stock alerts under Device Types.
• Regularly review devices in Maintenance.
• Use Stores as controlled staging areas before locker placement.
