Your stock file is the heart of the business. We edit stock files to give you peace of mind. You will have a clear understanding of the following:

Your true gross profit margin – You can trust your Point of Sale Data.
Get control of shrinkage – It is normally more than you think.
Accurate value of stock on hand – Know how much working capital you have invested.
Your stock turns – Sales generate revenue, Stock turn over generates profit.
Manage dead stock out the system – Improve your cash flow.
Identify your profitable categories.
Merchandise for profit.

In short, it is not possible to manage your profits unless the stock on your system agrees with what you have on your shelves.

There are a variety of different types of stock codes on your system – bar codes, supplier codes, own coding methods etc.

When your salespeople get an enquiry for a product, they need to check the shelves to see whether you really do have the product in stock.
There are times when the stock file indicates zero stock, but you can actually see the stock on the shelf.
