Unless you have a totally Mac environment, you might want to test using a
PC tablet for Prep. We use iPads for condition reporting (using PDF
expert), but we have a Dell tablet for inventory. TMS scales much better on
the tablet and it fully integrates with our network so people can use their
individual logins and move around in storage areas to do inventory data
entry.
