Pool business software delivers real-time inventory management
Accurate inventory is essential to a business, ensuring inventory that appears to be available for sale, really is, and that reorders occur (or don’t) at the correct time. Accurate inventory requires inventory tracking and inventory tracking begins with inventory transactions – tracking the movement of inventory in & out of the warehouse.
Inventory replenishment relies on powerful pool business software features, including:
- Reorder based on minimum stocking quantity
- Receive inventory (via desktop or mobile barcoding)
- Create and invoice purchase orders
- Handle drop ship and special orders
- Manage numerous vendors for the best cost and quality
Acctivate’s inventory visibility ensures the correct quantities are stocked for an unlimited amount of goods in the right locations.
The newfound product control acquired from pool business software enables:
- Flexible inventory cost tracking (Average, Standard, FIFO, LIFO, Specific Identity)
- Capture and track all costs associated with product acquisition—landed cost—for true COGS
- Lot & serial number control and traceability
- Product lookup by SKU, UPC, vendor number, customer product number + more
- Multiple warehouse and location (bins, service trucks, etc.) management
- Manufacture finished goods with raw materials tracking and work in process through various production processes, including discrete, custom, chemical, etc.
