If you’ve ever ordered more stock than you needed (because someone didn’t check that other stock location) or have had orders delayed (or cancelled) because you couldn’t produce your products due to missing stock items, then your issues may be bigger than you think. Over-stocking and under-stocking are two big issues facing manufacturers and the results of them impact your profitability and customer satisfaction directly. That’s why you need Advanced Business Cloud Essentials, which manages stock and reports on it from virtually any angle you can think of.
Powerful reports throughout the system help you understand your stock situation in real time. You can quickly report on stock locations and stock quantities, showing you not only where your stock is but how much is available and what is assigned to orders. Understanding the profitably of stock items is simple too, overall or by customer, so you can see which products make you the most profit and if any have tight margins or are losing you money.
The ability to set minimum stock levels across all items and locations not only provides you with reports to help manage stock levels efficiently, but users are proactively alerted by the system when a stock items drops below minimum quantities. From the alert users can generate orders from the summary screen to replenish stock quickly and easily, ensuring that you order stock at the right time and in the right places.
Because Advanced Business Cloud Essentials’ stock control system links directly to sales, order processing and accounts, data input is kept to an absolute minimum. For example, good can received directly against a purchase order, bringing through all of the relevant information and highlighting any potential issues, such as under or over-delivery of items, preventing someone having to work out where errors happened retrospectively.
Management of every type of stock item, including consumables, kits, service and hire items are all available within Advanced Business Cloud Essentials. You can even manage custom price lists for individual customers or set up custom groups with their own pricing levels and assign customers to them. With so much functionality available, you can manage stock and sell to your customers however you need to.
