Jenny PDA (Warehouse Keeper App) ​

The feature in one sentence

A slimmed-down, warehouse-only app: install "Jenny PDA" on a handheld PDA (or an ordinary Android phone), and the warehouse keeper can do scan stock-out / picking / stock in & out / transfer / scan stocktake / find goods, sharing the same stock, synced in real time with the desktop inventory & sales.

"Jenny PDA" is a standalone app of Jenny Fabric Software that keeps only the warehouse-related features (samples, order creation, finance, marketing, etc. are removed), built specifically for the warehouse keeper / picker / receiving-and-dispatch staff to use on a handheld PDA terminal or an ordinary Android phone.

It reuses the same backend as fabric (the main fabric software) (PSI inventory & sales), so:

  • You log in with your existing fabric account—not a separate account;
  • The warehouses, stock, sales orders, and stock-in/out documents you see are the same data as the desktop web version and the fabric mobile app—scan a stock-out here and the stock change shows up instantly there;
  • It can coexist on the same device as the main fabric mobile app (two separate apps).

How it divides labor with the main app

The main fabric app is "full-featured" (samples, order creation, picking, stock, finance, etc.); Jenny PDA is the "warehouse-only slim version"—it does only the on-the-floor scanning work. The keeper holds a PDA and keeps scanning, undistracted by other unrelated features.

1. Download & Install ​

Jenny PDA is distributed via a direct download link and is not published on app stores — this is its official distribution method (it won't rely on an app store going forward; just grab the latest version from the download link).

ItemDescription
Download linkFixed link https://help.jenny.cn/apk/jenny-pda.apk (each release overwrites this link, so it always points to the latest version)
Install methodOn the Android phone / PDA, open the link in a browser to download → install. The first time, you must allow installation from "unknown sources"
Current versionvc14 / 1.0.13
Supported systemsAndroid 7.0 and above (most PDAs run Android 7–11)

On first install, the system prompts about "unknown sources"—this is the normal block for a non-app-store APK; just allow it as prompted. The location of the "unknown sources" toggle differs by phone brand; see Installing the Latest Android APK for details.

In-app auto-update

Jenny PDA supports in-app auto-update: on launch it compares against the latest version number on the server, and if there's a new version it pops up "New version found." Tap to download, then tap the system "Install" to update—no need to ask support for a new package every time.

2. Login ​

Open the app and log in with your fabric account:

  • Phone number / account + password, or
  • Phone number + SMS code (tap "Log in with SMS code" to switch).

No guest / trial entry

Jenny PDA has no guest trial—you must log in with a real fabric account. Colleagues who don't have an account yet should ask the administrator to create an employee account in the main fabric software first.

3. Six Core Features ​

After logging in, the warehouse home page has six entries: scan stock-out / picking / stock in & out / transfer / scan stocktake / find goods.

1. Scan Stock-Out ​

Quick stock-out for non-sales scenarios (e.g., write-offs, internal use).

  1. Select the stock-out warehouse → the system loads that warehouse's stock and lists each item (number / product name / current stock in pieces);
  2. Use the PDA scan key or camera to scan roll by roll; whichever item is scanned, that row accumulates +1 piece; if a scan is off you can also manually tap + / − to adjust;
  3. The bottom shows "N pieces scanned"; once verified, tap "Confirm stock-out".

If you scan a code that isn't in stock, an orange "unmatched scan" notice appears at the top of the list, so you can catch a wrong scan / a foreign label on the spot.

2. Picking ​

Pick and verify shipments against a sales order.

  1. After entering, it lists all sales orders pending picking (order number / customer / pieces pending / status);
  2. Open an order to enter the picking detail; each product row shows the pending vs. picked meters / pieces and a progress bar;
  3. Scan the roll number:
    • Scanning a roll pre-allocated to the order (a piece-level roll the system has already chosen) → automatically brings out that roll's actual meters (green) and shows its 📍 bin location; pre-allocated rolls not yet scanned are listed as a "to-fetch list" (roll number + 📍 bin location + meters), telling the picker where to go fetch them;
    • If it doesn't match a pre-allocated roll → it goes to the currently selected product row, where you manually enter this roll's meters;
  4. You can "Save draft" (pick halfway and save), or "Finish picking" once everything is picked.

Picking is also synced with the desktop

The pending picking orders reported by salespeople on the desktop are pulled straight in here; the picked piece-level details are also written back to the same sales order. For a desktop walkthrough of picking, see Inventory & Sales · Picking.

3. Stock In & Out ​

Two tabs, stock-in documents / stock-out documents, for query and history only—order number, pieces / meters, customer (stock-out) or supplier (stock-in), warehouse, date.

The stock in & out screen is query-only—you don't scan to stock in here

The "stock in & out" screen only lets you view existing stock-in/out documents; you cannot scan to receive and stock in here. Creating a stock-in document and scanning / entering received piece-level details roll by roll are done in the main fabric app / desktop (see Inventory & Sales · Stock-In). This Jenny PDA screen is positioned as "the keeper takes a quick look at recent stock-in/out records on the spot."

4. Transfer ​

Move stock between warehouses.

  1. Select the source warehouse + the destination warehouse (the two can't be the same);
  2. After selecting the source warehouse, its stock loads; scan roll by roll to accumulate the goods to transfer;
  3. After verifying, tap "Confirm transfer"—the source warehouse decreases, the destination warehouse increases, and total stock stays unchanged.

5. Scan Stocktake ​

Physical stocktake, reconciling system quantity against actual count.

  1. Select the stocktake warehouse → the system loads all stock for that warehouse (system quantities), precise to each item;
  2. Scan roll by roll, accumulating the actual count +1 piece; you can also manually adjust + / −;
  3. When the actual count differs from the system quantity, that row's count is marked in orange with the + / − difference;
  4. After verifying, tap "Submit stocktake".

Likewise, scanning a number that isn't in stock shows an orange "unmatched scan" notice at the top.

6. Find Goods ​

Check "where this item is, and which bin location each roll is in."

  1. Select a warehouse (one is auto-selected by default);
  2. Search or scan a product (by number / product name / spec) → it lists every roll in stock for that item: roll number / lot number / 📍 bin location / meters;
  3. Next to each roll there's a Bluetooth print button to reprint that roll's fabric label (for the label printer, see "Companion Hardware" below).

Scans come with sound, light, and voice

Whether you use the PDA's hardware scan key or the camera, a successful scan gives feedback: it supports the PDA's beep / vibration, plus the app's voice readout—reading out the item name on a hit, and saying "unmatched, please check" on a miss. The keeper doesn't have to stare at the screen to know whether a scan landed.

4. Companion Hardware ​

A single Jenny PDA install package works on both ordinary Android phones and professional PDAs: a plain phone without a hardware scan key can use the camera to scan; a professional PDA uses its hardware scan key directly.

  • Recommended models: UROVO, POINSE PX50 (large-screen version);
  • Hardware scan key adaptation: adapted to the hardware scan broadcasts of mainstream PDA makers—UROVO, SEUIC, Newland, Honeywell, iData, Zebra, and others;

Please check your specific model with us first

There are many PDA makers, and the output method of scan keys varies slightly from one to another. The hardware scan keys of mainstream PDAs are already adapted, but it is not the case that "every PDA is plug-and-play." Before buying PDAs in bulk, we recommend telling support your model to confirm, or testing one sample unit.

Bluetooth Label Printer (for fabric roll labels) ​

  • Model: Dascom TL-332 / TL-333 Bluetooth label printer;
  • Use: print labels for fabric rolls (with a Code128 barcode, 40×30mm by default, with the size adjustable in the app), stick them on the rolls, and a single scan identifies them during subsequent stock-in/out / picking / find goods;
  • Before use, first pair with the printer in the system Bluetooth settings, then connect it on the app's "Label Printer" page.

Please contact support to set up printing

The Bluetooth fabric-roll label printing feature is in place, but specific model adaptation and print layout still need on-site setup (label paper size, layout, etc.). Please don't assume "plug-and-play perfect printing"—contact support for model adaptation / printing setup assistance. For an overall description of fabric roll labels, see Bluetooth Label Printing.

5. Notes ​

Requires a network connection

The current version of Jenny PDA is online throughout—all stock loading, scan verification, and submission require a network. Offline / weak-network operation is not supported for now, so the warehouse Wi-Fi signal must cover the whole area.

  • The account is the permission: whichever employee account you log in with, you operate according to that account's warehouse / data permissions in fabric;
  • Data goes back to the desktop in real time: once a stock-out / transfer / stocktake / picking here is submitted, the desktop inventory & sales syncs instantly; the stock is one and the same, so the two sides never disagree.
