Stock Management – Replenishment and Allocation Solutions

Having the power to manage stock replenishment and stock allocation is absolutely essential for any warehouse. Consider that if your stock is not replenished when it needs to be, you could miss out on sales, or slow down production. If your allocation across your stores isn’t up to speed or improperly entered, you could find those stores running out of stock when they desperately need it.

For all matters relating to stock replenishment and allocation, look no further than Retail Connect – Vardells highly accessible and intuitive software – that makes stock decisions quick and easy to manage.

 

What is a stock order management system?

Stock Order Management systems are designed to help you order and replace stock with ease. They provide you with a full list of suppliers, making it straightforward to retrieve the latest prices and provide automated responses to low figures, so you can make rapid decisions on stock replenishment.

 

What is a stock allocation system?

Stock allocation systems like Retail Connect allow you to have complete control of your inventory, so you can make those important decisions on distribution. 

They provide a detailed rundown of your inventory, so you always know where your stock is currently, where it’s going, and how it’s going to get there.

Through the automation provided by these systems, you can enjoy streamlined processes for you and your warehouse team, so stock levels across all warehouses and shopfronts are up-to-date.

What issues do people run into without effective stock allocation and replenishment management?

Without proper management of stock allocation and replenishment, businesses can run into a number of issues that could be avoided:

  • Stock mismanagement – Stock mismanagement can be a major issue in warehouses and supply chains, and is often caused by human error. Stock mismanagement can result in a number of issues like stock going missing, or being delivered to the wrong location. These issues can cost money in both redelivery costs and missed sales opportunities. 
  • Not enough stock ordered – Not being able to see your warehouse inventory and the inventory of your stores means there is a higher likelihood of stock orders not being filled properly or in good time. This can delay production if the stock is part of a production queue, or you could miss an opportunity to sell more stock because it isn’t available.
  • Improper auditing – Auditing is a huge part of the warehousing process, but without the proper tools, it can be difficult to see an audit through to completion and then report on it. This makes it much harder to settle any processing issues and prevents growth through improved workflows.

  • Retail Connect warns you when stock replenishment is due and generates an order, so all you need to do is submit the form when you are ready.
  • Allocate your stock to stores with courier integration, which helps you pick out the most cost-effective courier for your delivery. 
  • View all of your stores from a single website portal, so you can see exactly how each store is performing, and decide whether stock replenishment is required, or whether you would benefit from it being allocated elsewhere.
  • Integrate Retail Connect’s allocation and replenishment systems with your in-house business app, so you can access everything you need to with an interface you are already comfortable with.
