Stations
Stations group a collection of cabinets to represent either the physical layout of your facility or to allow separate purchasing and visibility. A station is essentially a way to organize cabinets under a common grouping.
Also known as: Station Groups, Customer Stations, Station Locations
Why Use Stations?
- Organize Cabinets: Cabinets can be grouped by building, floor, or department.
- Separate Purchasing: Each station can have its own purchase orders.
- Customer Visibility: Stations let customers see only the cabinets assigned to their station.
- Spoke-Hub Model: Similar to a distribution model where a central hub manages multiple spokes (stations).
