Fast moving here, slow moving there

If you have multiple stores you will have variations on what sells well. Items that would be considered fast movers in one store are collecting dust and incurring the cost of holding in others. Rather than buy new stock from the supplier its preferable to transfer from a store that has a surplus.

Find out which are which

Based on your weekly or monthly sales figures and the coverage you want of stock in your stores you can work out what is over-stocked and what is under-stocked.

How does it work?

Start the process by importing the latest stock figures for your stores, then import the latest sales figures. The system will now calculate what it thinks should be transferred. It will ignore items that are below a certain value.

The store managers are sent emails with the details of the proposed transfers. They can reject the suggested outgoing or incoming items. They send the file back, its imported into the system and the electronic order to transfer the stock are created. These transfers will be created in the format you need to import to your existing stock system.

What can I change?

You can set the number of weeks’ coverage a store should have of an item in stock and the number of weeks the system looks back to get the average weekly sales or each item. You can exclude items from the calculations.

Simple Systems

The best systems are those that are simple and do one job well – Fruitful’s stock balancing program just does what is described here.

Do you need it?
