The invention includes a method and system to provide a competitive pricing tool so that automobile dealers can more efficiently and effectively price their used vehicles. The system achieves the optimal sales price by obtaining the relevant pricing and mileage of vehicles for sale that are similarly situated to the focus vehicle. Once the information is obtained, the system creates a value ranking for each of the vehicles for sale and for the focus vehicle. The user is then able to revise the focus vehicle pricing to determine the optimal sales price. The invention also provides information to the potential customer about the vehicle for sale, including information relating to other similar vehicles for sale in a particular geographical area that can be accessed at the point of sale, or by the customer at a later time and place. The party offering the product for sale is informed each time the customer accesses the information, thereby indicating the level of interest by the customer. The invention further provides a stocking tool to determine when to purchase additional vehicles for inventory, a merchandising view to review and revise advertisements, and an automatic description generator for the particular vehicle being sold.

A method of managing inventories of expiration dated products, utilizing a portable programmable electronic code reading device with a keypad for inputting data, a display for displaying data, memory, and data storage, includes the steps of reading a product identification code for a set of product units with the same identification code and same expiration date, entering the expiration date into the device, associating the product identification with the expiration date and storing the associated information in a database, and stocking the product units in inventory. A date is entered into the device to initiate a query of the database for product expiration dates within a preselected range of days from the entered date, generating a sequential listing of product identification and associated expiration dates within the preselected range, enabling a user to check inventory for the presence or absence of product units with the displayed expiration date or dates.

Other embodiments includes the use of a service server which computes for the systems management server either the endpoint classifications or the data for defining execution of systems management tasks for the systems management server.

A graphical recognition inventory management and marketing system is disclosed. An image comprising a plurality of product elements is captured. Graphical recognition is utilized to detect, isolate, and identify each element by comparing characteristics of the element with element data stored in a database. When a match is found, the detected and isolated element data is stored with the matched database entry. Additional element data obtained during the graphical recognition process is added to element data stored in the database to expand the database entry. The current location of a user device is detected and product element data is displayed along with a map indicating the physical location of the product element and a route to the product element from the user's current location. A user can also capture an image and have product data and a map to the product displayed.
