Smart Inventory Management
Does your actual stock level never match what your computer says? Manual inventories are slow, costly, and riddled with errors that disrupt your production. Not knowing exactly what you have in your warehouse leads to unnecessary duplicate purchasing or, worse still, stockouts that prevent you from serving orders on time. If you rely on spreadsheets, you are losing money and competitiveness every day.
We implement data capture systems that give you total control over the location and status of every reference in real time, enabling you to make decisions based on data, rather than guesswork.

The Tecnipesa Solution for Inventory Control
Replace paper with radio frequency terminals and RFID technology. We connect your warehouse to a WMS (Warehouse Management System) that logs every movement instantly. By automating data capture with industrial readers and smart labels, you eliminate human error during goods receiving and dispatch, ensuring that every location is exact and every item can be located in seconds.
We design bespoke implementations tailored to the daily processes and challenges of each company.
MEASURABLE RESULTS IN YOUR OPERATIONS
Time savings
Eliminate overtime spent by operators searching for material or counting stock manually.
Reduction in errors
Achieved through automated labelling and data processing.
Real-time stock reliability
Make precise decisions based on verified stock levels rather than estimates.
Key Features for Managing Your Inventory
Works with: RFID Barcode
Stock Management works with Barcode or RFID
Automate your stock counts without relying on operator memory. If you require precision down to the exact shelf location, barcodes are your ally. If you are looking for extreme agility to validate full pallets in seconds without direct line of sight, RFID technology instantly eliminates idle hours spent on manual counting and stock discrepancies.
Furthermore, these technologies eliminate potential human errors in item identification, reading, and classification.
What are the differences between barcodes and RFID for inventory management?
| BARCODE | RFID | |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | More precise. Identifies the exact shelving unit and item location. | Less precise. Identifies the "zone" where the item is located rather than the exact shelf. |
| Agility | Not agile. Requires scanning items one by one. | More agile; scans entire zones in a single pass. Can be automated. |
| Frequency of Use | Typically one or two inventories per year. | Several times a week or even multiple times a day. |
Forget about outdated data between the warehouse and the office. Every movement is logged and communicated instantly to your management system, providing real-time visibility into what you have and where it is. You will know whether you can fulfil an order without having to physically go down to the warehouse to check.
Additionally, at Tecnipesa we can integrate inventory automation with your ERP or WMS. If you do not have a warehouse management system, we can propose Tecnipesa RBK for your business.
Integrating a WMS with your ERP enables comprehensive inventory control: up-to-date data, minimum stock alerts, product rotation, batch/date traceability, and a complete movement history. Accessibility from any device provides flexibility and control for the entire team.
Advanced Features
The inventory management system encompasses reverse logistics processes, facilitating the receipt, sorting, and traceability of returned products. It integrates returns into logistical workflows to reincorporate items into stock, process them, or dispose of them according to their condition.
Thus, it contributes to sustainability and operational efficiency through complete traceability and automated records at every stage of the return process. This minimises errors, streamlines decision-making, and enhances the customer experience by managing returns efficiently and automatically.
Tecnipesa's inventory management solution enables the implementation of advanced strategies such as Just-in-Time management and demand forecasting, specially tailored to high-turnover and perishable product sectors.
Through automation and real-time data analysis, stock levels are optimised, storage-associated costs are reduced, shrinkage is prevented, and tied-up capital is released.
This functionality is key for e-commerce and food companies, as it facilitates more cash-flow efficiency and an agile response to demand fluctuations.
“At Mayoral, we particularly value Tecnipesa’s personal approach and accessibility, which translate into fast, reliable technical support we can fully trust. Working with them has enabled us to optimize our processes, ensure better traceability, and improve our operational efficiency.”

Inventory Solutions for Specific Sector Challenges
We understand that every sector faces unique challenges. Efficient inventory control is not merely about counting products, but about solving specific problems that limit your business growth and profitability. Therefore, we tailor our solutions to the concrete needs of your operations.
Advanced Inventory for E-Commerce
Prevent order cancellations and marketplace penalties due to stockouts.
We synchronise your physical and online stores under a single control system; every sale deducts from the global inventory to the second, ensuring available stock is always real regardless of the sales channel.
Stock Optimisation with Perishable Products
Zero shrinkage due to expiry. Stop losing money throwing away expired products at the back of the shelf.
Our systems automatically apply dispatch criteria such as FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) or FIFO (First-In, First-Out). This ensures the correct product is always dispatched first, minimising expired stock in the warehouse and maximising inventory profitability.
Featured Products in This Solution
Tecnipesa's inventory management solution comprises stock control software, a warehouse management system (WMS), and a comprehensive product labelling system using barcodes or RFID, including printers, labels, and reading terminals. At Tecnipesa, we can provide all these components as a turnkey solution—fully integrated and ready to operate—or, if you prefer, we can adapt to the technology your company already utilises, ensuring seamless integration with your ERP and keeping your entire logistics process under a single digital environment.
Tecnipesa RBK: Warehouse Management System
The brain of your warehouse. Control locations, rotations, and batch traceability paperlessly.
If you do not have management software, RBK integrates with your ERP to automate all work orders.
Recommended Data Capture Terminal
Zebra MC3330R Handfree RFID Terminal. Mass reading at a distance. Enables your operators to count hundreds of items per minute without leaving the forklift, accelerating goods receiving by 80%.
Fixed RFID Readers
Fixed RFID readers are designed to be positioned in specific reading zones and operate unattended. They decode information from RFID tags and transfer it to the WMS. These readers offer multiple applications in inbound and outbound control, production process traceability, and security in restricted areas.

Frequently Asked Questions about Inventory Management
From there, the most suitable solution is defined, which typically involves a phased implementation:
- Proper labelling of all products.
- Introduction of data capture terminals to streamline record-keeping.
- Implementation of a WMS software to centralise all information.
- Barcodes represent a highly mature, economical, and reliable technology, ideal for most processes where reading is performed one by one with direct line of sight.
- RFID is superior when mass readings of multiple items are required simultaneously without direct line of sight (for example, passing a full pallet through a portal reader). Its cost is higher, but it delivers speed and automation unattainable with barcodes.
Safety stock is the additional inventory a company maintains to protect against demand variability or supply chain delays. Managing it based on inaccurate or outdated data is a risk that can lead to stockouts.
A stockout can paralyse production lines due to a lack of components or prevent orders from being fulfilled, resulting in lost sales and reputational damage. By providing exact, real-time data, our inventory control systems offer the reliability needed to calculate and adjust your safety stock dynamically, ensuring business continuity and compliance with delivery deadlines.
