The transfers module allows you to move stock between different locations. For example, if your stock is delivered to a central warehouse, it will need to be transferred out to the individual shops.

A transfer is a two stage process. first, the stock levels are reduced at the source location, before being physically moved to the destination. Secondly, the stock arrives at the destination and is checked and booked in. Once the stock is booked in, the stock levels are increased at the destination shop.

Stock Take

2009-08-09T16:14:29Z

Stocktaking is one of those chores which all business have to do, but which everybody hates.

We have engineered our stocktaking process to be simple and easy to use, which helps customers save time and money.

Step 1 - Stock Snapshot

The first step in a stock take, is creating a snapshot of the current stock levels. The snapshot allows the system to calculate the difference between original stock and the counted items.

Step 2 - Stock Count

Counting the stock quantities of every product in your shop, is the second step in a stock take. The stock levels can be either entered manually or using a barcode hand-held terminal (BHT), to scan the product barcodes.

Once the products have been scanned, you can import the data into the system using a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file.

Step 3 - Stock Compare

Once the stock has been counted, the third step in a stock take is comparing the counted quantities against the stock snapshot. Comparing the counted stock against the snapshot provides a discrepancy report, highlighting any products which have different stock levels.

Step 4 - Stock Update

Updating your stock levels is the final step in a stock take. Although our system can update your stock levels automatically, some customers prefer to recheck the stock and update the figures manually.

Stock Control Benefits

2009-06-29T11:57:39Z

How will Stock Control Benefit your business?

Stock control, otherwise known as inventory control, is used to show how much stock you have at any one time, and how you keep track of it.

It applies to every item you use to produce a product or service, from raw materials to finished goods. It covers stock at every stage of the production process, from purchase and delivery to using and re-ordering the stock.

Efficient stock control allows you to have the right amount of stock in the right place at the right time. It ensures that capital is not tied up unnecessarily, and protects production if problems arise with the supply chain.
