Using Sage Inventory Control to Improve Your Business
Stock takes are time-consuming and labour-intensive but remain crucial for an efficient sales business. Sage inventory control helps streamline this process. In addition to the abovementioned drawbacks, manual stock-taking is demanding on personnel and frequently results in errors that could have serious consequences. The explanation for these shortfalls lies in the factors upon which a conventional stock-take depends.
When conducted during business hours, it is often necessary to suspend trading, which invariably results in lost sales and could also see some regular customers lost permanently. If undertaken after hours, employees may be exhausted and thus even more likely to make mistakes. However, it is the stocktaking process itself that creates most of the problems.
Participants must examine each item to locate its product code and remember it before entering it via a keyboard to a personal computer. Since providing each employee with a separate PC tends to be impractical, the need to share and sometimes queue is unavoidable, slowing the overall process and further increasing the risk of mistakes.
The Sage Inventory Control Solution and How It Works
The value of any stock-take procedure lies in its accuracy and efficiency, two crucial goals that FenyaSoft has fully achieved with our automated warehouse management solution. The FenyWMS Sage inventory control solution leverages two powerful technologies to provide a lightning-fast stock-taking system that’s virtually error-free and easy to use.
It has been several decades since manufacturers began adding barcodes to the multi-digit stock numbers on their packages as an alternative means to identify their contents. However, for much of that period, the primary use for these black-and-white striped patterns has been to speed up the checkout process in shops and supermarkets. However, developers have found many more innovative applications for barcoding technology in recent years.
In parallel, wireless connectivity has simplified many day-to-day tasks, from credit and debit card payments and access control to paying for parking and even conducting the dreaded stock take. Why would anyone choose to read a multi-digit stock number and attempt to type it accurately into a PC when it is so much quicker and safer to scan a barcode and transmit its encoded details wirelessly to their inventory records?
A Few Advantages of the Sage Inventory Control System
There are many good reasons to adopt the FenyaWMS Sage barcoded stock-take solution. The following are just three.
- Wide Choice of Integrations: The FenyaWMS stock take solution can be integrated directly with all Sage accounting packages, including Sage 50. It’s also compatible with Microsoft Dynamics GP.
- Supports Multiple Users: Every participant can be given a scanner, and all data is transmitted to a single PC or server, where it may then be shared with other branches and their data collated.
- Spot Check Function: This helpful feature enables users to compare recorded with live stock figures and make necessary adjustments.
