Description
Fresh USA Factory / Warehouse Inventory and Asset Tracking Software
Windows-based inventory and asset tracking software for factories, warehouses, stockrooms, commercial facilities, laundry operations and other businesses that need to identify, count and track tagged assets, equipment, materials or reusable inventory.
Inventory and Asset Tracking Software
Fresh USA Factory / Warehouse Software provides a centralized database for registering tagged items and maintaining inventory, location, movement and transaction records.
Compatible fixed readers can be assigned to entrances, storage areas, departments, transfer points or other monitored locations. Reader activity can then be associated with the appropriate registered item records in the software.
The system can start with one connected fixed reader and one Windows computer and can be expanded with additional readers, monitored locations, F-880 handheld inventory equipment and licensed Windows workstations as operational requirements grow.

Computer-specific lifetime license
The software license file is tied to the motherboard of the specific computer for which it is issued. The license cannot be transferred to another computer. Installation on a different computer requires a new software license.
Inventory Database
Tagged inventory, equipment, materials and fixed assets can be registered in the software database and associated with individual tag identifiers.
Depending on the workflow, item records can be used to maintain:
- Item or asset identification
- Assigned RFID tag
- Current inventory balance
- Current or last recorded location
- Movement and transaction history
- Issue and return activity
- Reader and location activity
- Transfer records between operational locations
Location and Movement Tracking
Compatible Fresh USA fixed readers can be associated with specific monitoring points or operational zones.
For example, readers can be assigned to locations such as:
- Main entrance or exit
- Warehouse receiving area
- Storage room
- Tool or equipment room
- Production area
- Laundry receiving or distribution area
- Department or internal transfer point
- Shipping or dispatch area
Reader events provide records that can be associated with the movement of registered tagged items through configured monitoring points and locations.
Check-In, Check-Out, Issue, Return and Transfer
The software can be used for controlled inventory transactions when reusable items, tools, equipment, textiles, containers or other tagged assets are received, issued, transferred and returned.
| Operation | Software Record |
|---|---|
| Receiving | Tagged items can be registered or received into inventory and assigned to the appropriate records. |
| Issue / Check-Out | The transaction records that an item has been issued or removed from its current inventory location. |
| Internal Transfer | Item movement between configured locations, departments or operational zones can be recorded. |
| Return / Check-In | Returned items can be scanned back into inventory and their inventory and location records updated. |
Inventory History and Reports
The software maintains historical records that can be used to review inventory activity and tagged-item movements.
Depending on the configured workflow, reports and searchable records can be used for:
- Current inventory balances
- Inventory history
- Item movement history
- Issue and return activity
- Location and reader activity
- Internal transfer history
- Inventory reconciliation
- Operational and management reporting
F-880 Handheld Inventory Synchronization
Factory 1.7 supports synchronization with the optional Fresh USA F-880 handheld inventory system.
This allows fixed-reader inventory and tracking workflows to be supplemented with mobile inventory operations using the F-880.
Typical F-880 operations include:
- Mobile inventory counts
- Field inventory checks
- Inventory reconciliation
- Searching for registered tagged assets
- Checking items away from fixed reader locations
- Collecting inventory information for synchronization with Factory 1.7
The F-880 includes its own mobile inventory application and does not require a fixed-reader connection license.
Fixed Readers + F-880 Mobile Inventory
Fixed readers can provide continuous monitoring at selected entrances, exits and operational zones, while the F-880 can be used for mobile inventory counts, item searches and inventory verification throughout the facility.
Factory 1.7 provides synchronization between the Windows inventory database and the F-880 handheld workflow.
CSV Import and Export
Factory / Warehouse Software supports CSV data import and export for inventory and system data exchange.
CSV files can be used when data needs to be exchanged with other business applications, databases or operational workflows that support compatible file-based data transfer.
The exact fields and data structure used for import or export depend on the required workflow and external system.
Direct SQL Database Connection
Factory / Warehouse Software also supports direct SQL database connection for projects that require database-level integration or access to inventory and tracking data.
Direct SQL connectivity can be used as part of a project-specific integration with compatible business, inventory or management systems.
Third-party integration should be reviewed before deployment.
CSV field mapping, SQL database structure, synchronization logic, network configuration and integration with third-party applications depend on the customer’s existing system. Custom integration work is not automatically included with the standard software license.
