Stock Company Management is the method by which an organization keeps an eye on and records its inventory (items), whether they were bought or sold, or even owned. It can include raw materials, work-in progress, finished goods, and spare parts.
Having the right amount of inventory on hand is crucial to meet the demands. Too little inventory means you’ll miss sales opportunities, whereas too much stock can clog your bank account and increase storage costs. The ideal amount is determined by looking at your sales forecasts, warehouse and distribution processes, and your suppliers’ performance.
The key to effective stock control is keeping track of your stock that can be accomplished by hand or using an application on your computer that connects to your point of sale (POS) system or client management software. These systems monitor and track stock levels in real time, alerting you of low stocks before they become an issue.
It is crucial to periodically examine your turnover rates and search for patterns. If you have a lot of items that aren’t selling and are taking up valuable warehouse space, consider not ordering them again in the future, and instead concentrate on marketing and driving the sales of your top-selling products. Keep in mind that a variety of factors outside your control could affect your overall stock turnover, such as changes in supplier prices and the difficulty in finding raw materials. You can get reports from both suppliers and industry peak bodies that report on the changes. You can also ask your business advisor for advice on specific stock management strategies.
