It needs the improvement of work efficiency, the reduce of cost in goods and information transfer, the increase of customers' satisfaction to the more detailed requirements in commodities use and quality and to the better shopping guide and after-sales services.

Mistakes in goods and information transfer can lead lower work efficiency and higher cost in communications. If there are a huge number of commodities and goods shelves, the inventory statistics can not be updated in real time when putting-away or replenishing commodities.

They will spend more time in commodities stock counting which should be spent in selling.
