What is Anzor Kanban?

Anzor Kanban is a streamlined mobile scanning system that makes stock ordering fast, seamless, and effortless — reducing the overall cost of purchasing and improving your bottom line.

Eliminates Stock-outs

Stock-outs cause staff downtime, a decline in productivity, and potentially lost sales. Kanban prevents this.

Scales with Demand

A 'pull supply' system — as demand increases, more fasteners can be pulled into production automatically.

Reduces Labour Cost

Ordering takes less time. Goods to reorder are easy to identify and can be scanned via mobile into your online account.

Reduces Tied-up Capital

Inventory levels always match demand. You hold exactly what you need — no more, no less.

Real-time Stock Count

Real-time stock visibility at all times, enabling faster decisions and uninterrupted workflow across your operation.

Kanban Set-up Options

Choose the setup that matches your volume and workflow. All options use Anzor QR labels for identification, tracking, and mobile reordering.
