Efficiency and accuracy are the cornerstones of successful warehouse management for food and drink wholesale businesses. As a wholesaler, you understand the challenges of managing inventory, tracking stock levels, and ensuring seamless transfers within your warehouse. With the ever-increasing demands of inventory control and stock counting, having a reliable and user-friendly system is essential.
Gaina’s StokMan Warehouse Scanning Software provides a game-changing, comprehensive solution to efficiently manage your inventory, stock levels and transfers, offering complete oversight of your warehouse operations.
In this blog post, we will investigate the key benefits and features of Gaina’s StokMan software, why it’s far more than just a stock counting app, and how it can revolutionise your food and drink wholesale business.
Efficient Stock Counts with Immediate Discrepancy Flagging:
The efficiency and accuracy of stock counting are vital to ensure the smooth running of any warehouse, but food and drink wholesalers often grapple with the inefficiencies and errors associated with manual stock counting. The reliance on outdated methods, such as manual data entry and paper-based inventory records, not only consumes valuable time but also opens the door to inaccuracies. Discrepancies in stock levels can lead to missed sales opportunities, dissatisfied customers, employee frustration and financial losses.
Our software simplifies this process, enabling faster and more efficient stock counts while instantly flagging any discrepancies. By reducing the time spent on counting and promptly addressing any errors, you can significantly improve your operational efficiency and maintain accurate inventory records.
Real-Time Reporting with Custom Filters:
Food and drink wholesalers need access to real-time data and insights to make informed business decisions. Relying on outdated reports or delayed information can hinder your ability to respond promptly to changing market trends, customer demands, or supply chain disruptions – and in such a fast-moving industry, this can have devastating effects on your business.
Real-time reporting capabilities empower you with up-to-date insights into your warehouse operations. With a range of custom filters, you can tailor reports to suit your specific needs. Whether you need to track stock levels, analyse product movement, or monitor trends, StokMan’s reporting features provide you with the flexibility to make informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date data.
Enhanced Inventory Accuracy:
Maintaining accurate inventory records is a constant struggle for wholesalers. Inaccurate stock counts can result in missed sales opportunities or excess inventory, while unexplained shrinkage can eat into your profits. Identifying the root causes of these issues and implementing effective solutions is crucial for business success.
Our software helps you achieve increased accuracy in your inventory records. What’s more, the software supports 2D and RFID barcode scanning, allowing you to use the built-in camera on an iOS device or any iOS-compatible Bluetooth barcode scanner. By scanning barcodes, you eliminate manual errors and ensure precise tracking of your inventory, reducing the risk of stock discrepancies and improving overall operational efficiency.
The software provides a complete audit trail that allows you to identify and eliminate any unexplained shrinkage within your warehouse. By tracking every transaction and movement, the software enables you to identify areas of concern and take necessary actions to address them. With StokMan, you can enhance the security of your inventory and eliminate losses, ultimately increasing profitability and maintaining a healthy bottom line.
