Taking Stock of Your Inventory
Rod Works needed a POS and inventory-control system for its four retail stores, two clearance
outlets, warehouse, and headquarters. It opted for an integrated solution that delivered automated
inventory tracking, e-mail invoices, and report generation, and worked with vendor-generated
barcodes. By leveraging integration between the POS system and warehouse database, Rod Works
automatically knew which items needed restocking in its stores so popular goods didn't remain on
warehouse shelves instead of shop shelves. This allowed the retailer to quickly restock hot-selling
items or free-up valuable shelf-space for faster moving products.
"As a result, we have realized a 65% reduction in the man-hours used for picking items for stores,"
said Aaron Brackett, retail director for Rod Works.
Likewise, the Sunglasses Shop got a return on its POS and inventory solution faster than expected,
said Daniel Puddick, director of the high-end retailer. Regular audits helped to eliminate stock errors
and the improved records and enhanced reporting have allowed the store to boost sales 200%.
“I was hoping the system would pay for itself in a year, but realistically, it had more than paid for
itself in just two months," he said.
Conclusion
You've invested in the products and equipment stored throughout your company and its warehouses,
and it also makes sense to invest in the resources to accurately and efficiently monitor, analyze and
swiftly locate these items. Today's inventory technologies allow you to track stock in your
company – while also improving cash flow, enhancing customer satisfaction, boosting productivity
and saving a lot of money.
