How can WBS Software Help Businesses to Improve Their Stock Control?

The right stock control software can help to transform your business. Understanding what stock you have and its location can help to lower your costs, speed up processes and prevent fraud and losses. Stock control systems can also be used to assess your assets and provide accurate financial reporting.

Not only it is essential to your business that stock is managed efficiently, it can massively improve your customer’s experience. Constant inventory issues can result in lost sales, insufficient stock to meet orders and could potentially drive your customers into looking for alternative suppliers.

The right software solution should help you to monitor your company’s stock from the purchase order, delivery stock taking and dispatch, which should include movements across multiple warehouses and locations. WBS Software can help you to achieve these objectives. How? Let’s take a look at how WBS software has been developed to help improve stock control within businesses.

Real-Time Stocktaking
One of the most important functions that WBS manufacturing software offers is the ability to provide real-time stock taking. Knowing the exact and up to date amounts of all your businesses products and raw materials can help the smooth running of manufacturing processes. It makes it easier to manage levels of stock, and it allows you to manage business finances and cash flow more efficiently.

With so much pressure on businesses to streamline processes in order to compete with competitors, real time stocktaking using stock control software is becoming more important. Estimating finances, stock and cash flow is not an effective way of running a company’s finances. Being able to keep track of transactions can help you identify how well your business is performing and highlight any areas which need improvement.

Flexible order screens
WBS manufacturing control software provides flexible order entry screens for both sales order processing and dispatch and for purchase order processing & goods received. The flexible screens allow you to see all the information easily as it’s clearly displayed and easy to use.
​
For sales order processing the customer’s history, their recent purchases, products they haven’t tried yet, available stock levels and a margin calculation are all available on one screen at the point of order. Once an order has been placed the stock control software produces full FIFO picking reports with batch control, as well as all the required delivery information and documentation. The purchase order screens allow for easy purchasing and delivery of items. The batch numbers are then recorded, making tracing products and stock easier.

Multiple warehouses
For companies who have stock located in multiple locations or warehouses, it’s important to be able to manage transactions accurately across the different sites. Without this, it can be hard to keep track of stock, especially if your business is using basic software like Sage 50 manufacturing for sales and invoices. WBS manufacturing software can be used alongside existing software and give you complete viability of stock with information that is 100% up to date.

For businesses looking to expand, the software is able to process information across multiple locations, which is essential for companies that are storing products and materials across more than one warehouse or depot. The manufacturing module can help you ensure you have adequate stock to complete orders and that your business runs smoothly.
