Selection Criteria
5 Key Criteria for Selecting an Office Inventory Cabinet
Tracking Technology
RFID for individually tagged items. Weight sensors for bulk consumables (stationery, paper, cartridges). Dual RFID + weight for maximum accuracy on high-value items.
Department-Level Reporting
The system should report consumption by department, cost centre or user — enabling accurate budget allocation and identifying wasteful usage patterns.
Automatic Reorder Alerts
Configure minimum stock thresholds per item. The system should alert procurement automatically when stock falls below the reorder point — eliminating manual stock checks.
Access Control
For controlled dispensing, choose a cabinet with RFID card, PIN or biometric access. For open-access stationery, weight-sensor shelves without access control may suffice.
ERP & Procurement Integration
Integration with SAP, Oracle, Tally or procurement systems enables automatic purchase orders and budget reporting. Confirm API availability before purchase.
