Stock Control

Managing stock effectively is important for any business because without adequate stock, production and sales will grind to a halt. Stock control involves careful planning to ensure that the business has sufficient stock of the right quality available at the right time. Therefore, in any wholesale, retail, distribution or light manufacturing business, stock is the centrepiece. Perhaps this is why we have put more resources into stock control elements of our software than any other single module.
In Intact's accounts software system, stock information is always accurate and easy to access from almost any screen. The system keeps a running tally of stock levels – both actual and effective – effective stock takes into consideration 'reserved' and 'on order' stock.
Maximising profit margin is key to the success of wholesalers and distributors. To more accurately calculate profit, expenses like shipping or duty must be added to material costs. Intact accounts software offers the choice of costing method – last, weighted average, landed, fifo to give smart companies the options.
Maintaining effective stock levels is an important factor in cash flow management. Using Intact accounts software, slow moving stock is easily identified and replenishment levels can be automatically calculated. 'Aged stock reports' are given the same importance as 'aged debtor information' giving the user every opportunity to move old stock on.
Intact enables you to manage stock in multiple locations and in multiple currencies and in multiple units of measure.
