Stock

Stock and inventory

You know what you have and what's running out, even if you don't sell it.

You register each product or material, sellable or not, with its unit, quantity and minimum. You know what you have, what is running out and what to reorder, and you decide what to track: what you do not track is simply not kept.

  • Selling online with an online shop

    Your website sells by itself: the customer chooses, pays and you only prepare the order.

  • Controlling stock and purchases from suppliers

    Every product carries its minimum and, when it drops below it, the alert goes out before it runs out.

  • app to take payments from customers

    The receptionist, an assistant with artificial intelligence, shows them the product and takes payment in the chat.

  • Stock control for products

    You see how much is left of each item, with its quantity and its unit, without going to count it.

What you get with stock control

  • You know what you have before you run out.

  • What you don't sell gets counted too.

  • What arrives goes into your stock by itself.

Problems solved by stock control

Controlling stock and purchases from suppliers

Before

You run out of a material in the middle of the high season. Nobody saw there were two units left and the order arrives late.

After

Every product carries its minimum and, when it drops below it, the alert goes out before it runs out.

How it removes it
  1. You set the minimum for each product you track.

  2. When it drops below, the alert goes out and you see in a list what to reorder.

You find out before you run out.

Stock control for products

Before

You don't know how many units you have left of each product until a customer asks for it and it isn't there.

After

You see how much is left of each item, with its quantity and its unit, without going to count it.

How it removes it
  1. You register each product with its quantity and its unit.

  2. Every delivery in adds and every item out subtracts; you see what's left in a list.

Every item, with what's left of it.

stock control template

Before

You keep what's in the warehouse in a spreadsheet. It hasn't been touched for three weeks and doesn't match what's there.

After

You count what's there, enter the real quantity and the difference from what should be left shows at once.

How it removes it
  1. You do the count on the tablet, product by product, without spreadsheets.

  2. The real quantity replaces the one on record and you see the difference.

Count the cupboard once, with no templates.

Adding any kind of product or stock

Before

You buy paper, consumables and uniforms, and none of it is sold. Nobody knows how much there is until it runs out.

After

You register what isn't sold and see its quantity the same as a product's.

How it removes it
  1. You register materials, consumables, uniforms or tools as products that aren't sold.

  2. You track their quantity and their minimum the same as for what you sell.

What you don't sell gets counted too.

Uploading and managing supplier delivery notes

Before

An order arrives from your supplier and the delivery note stays in a drawer. Nobody adds up what came in or who received it.

After

Every delivery note adds its goods to the stock, with its supplier and its price, and the signed one is saved.

How it removes it
  1. You record the delivery note with its supplier, its date and its lines; each line adds to the stock.

  2. Whoever receives it signs the delivery note from their phone.

What arrives goes into your stock by itself.

How stock control works, step by step

  1. You register each product or material, sellable or not, with its unit, its quantity and its minimum.

  2. You decide what you track: what you don't track doesn't count as zero, it simply isn't kept.

  3. Every sale or item out subtracts, and every delivery in adds to the product's quantity.

  4. You record each supplier delivery note with its date and its lines, and the goods add to the stock.

  5. Whoever receives the goods signs the delivery note from their phone, with a link.

  6. When a product drops below its minimum, the alert goes out and it appears on the reorder list.

  7. You do the count with the tablet and see the difference between what was counted and what was on record.

  8. If you sell what you control, your online shop shows it with its stock.

What you need to get started with stock control

  • Your products and materials, with their unit.

  • The quantity you have today of each one, from a first count.

  • The minimum below which you want the alert.

  • Your suppliers in your contacts, if you record delivery notes.

  • A tablet or a phone for the count.

Tools it includes

  • Stock and inventory
  • Reorder list
  • Stock count
  • Supplier delivery notes

Your website and your visibility

If you sell part of what you control, Connected online shop shows it on your website with its stock and marks as sold out what reaches zero. What you don't sell stays inside your business.

Frequently asked questions about stock control

Does it work for what I don't sell?

Yes. Paper, toner, uniforms or tools are registered as products that aren't sold and carry their quantity and their minimum.

Do I have to count everything?

No. You only track what you decide to track. What you don't track doesn't count as zero: it simply isn't kept.

What's the difference from the online shop?

The online shop sells and stops offering what's sold out. This solution controls what you have, whether you sell it or not, and warns you about what's running out.
