How This Ticket Is Used

• The bar-coded ticket is part of an inventory control system.
  
  
• The dry cleaning chain has six retail outlets, but all cleaning is done at a central plant. The red number in the upper right hand and lower left hand corner is a store identification.
  
  
• Previously, too many articles of clothing were being sent to the wrong store from the plant. Lost clothing was costing the company considerable money.
  
  
• With the new system, the ticket is scanned at the store and placed in the bag with the articles of clothing.
  
  
• The ticket is returned with the customer's clothes and is scanned again.
  
  
• This process immediately identifies where the clothes are. Lost clothing has been reduced, thereby saving the company money.
