Hi. I am looking for a recommendation for a stock control system?
I will soon be taking over a retail business (newsagent/gift shop). The turnover is about €500k. Currently there is zero stock control. No barcode scanner/EPOS just a till.
I wish to complete management accounts on a monthly basis so I would need to know the exact value and quantity of stock at anyone time.
As there is currently no stock control I would initially need to do a complete stock take. Hopefully this does not mean scanning each item of stock individually.
Some items of stock will not have a barcode so I assume I will need to print my own barcodes and attach to stock items.
Once a complete stock take has been taken I then need to receipt goods in and goods out will be accounted for by scanning items sold at the till.
I need the system to provide reports of what is selling and how quickly by category of stock and by supplier.
Other features I would find useful include:
Flexible demand forecasting
Self-adjusting reorder levels
Purchase order is (automatic purchase order which can be overruled/adjusted)
Ability to write off obsolete stock
