Several vendors provide warehouse inventory application software. Portable handheld devices, such as Symbol SPT 1500 (Palm Pilot with scanner), can scan and read inventory information from the shelves and then upload this information to corporate systems. An example is Bismarck Concesionnaire in Chicago who has automated inventory collection information.
