"If somebody calls up and something is out of stock, we can say “We’ll have more stock in two days’ time, do you want to order it now?"
"I know who’s picking what order, how many orders are awaiting picking, how many orders we’ve despatched today, you just get that overall visibility of what your business is doing.”
“Orderwise has improved the stock management levels and contract production to ensure maximum possible shelf life is maintained. Many of our contract products have a 12 month shelf life and require a minimum of 11 months at the time of receipt by the customer. Batch traceability means we can control this and also enables any product falling below 6 months to be provided to customers with a fast turnover thus minimising wastage.”

What is a stock control system?
Stock control itself is achieved by combining all the practices you need to effectively manage your inventory. Solving workplace dilemmas can be made easy for businesses of all sizes by managing your stock in the right way.
From organising orders, raw materials and storing products, to tracking and crunching numbers from receipt to despatch, the right stock control software can draw all of your specific stock management tasks together into one system. Users can gain a clearer picture of their stock operations and complete management tasks more accurately and efficiently.
What is a stock management system?
A stock management system is the collective term for the systems, processes, and procedures that let your business stay informed and active regarding your stock. This includes both the stock you have physical access to, how many individual items you have, which specific variants are available, where on your premises they are being kept, as well as stock that is on order, the dates it is due to come in, and the spaces in your facilities set aside for their arrival.
Stock management is the systems you have in place to both keep all that information organised, and the processes to take action when that information tells you something important about your overall stock situation.
How to improve stock management?
Stock management is improved with more information, more automation, and more speed. More information means additional details about every stage of your stock’s journey.
From your supplier’s premises, to their courier, to your warehouse, your racking, your pickers, and finally your customer’s doorstep. It also means more information about the stock itself, such as serial numbers to expiry dates, variant colours, and more. More automation means more alerts. Tailored messages that are triggered to send to you in specific circumstances that you need to be aware of. More speed means that all these things can happen faster. All this information and automation needs to be delivered in an easy-to-understand and easy-to-control fashion. This allows your business to act faster, respond quicker, and take advantage of new situations ahead of the competition.
Why is stock management so important?
High-quality stock management is vital for any business. At the most basic level, it can be the difference between retaining a satisfied customer/client or losing one who becomes disillusioned when a promised item turns out to be delayed or unavailable.
The better your stock management, the less likely the latter scenario becomes. The more advanced reasoning is that good stock management gives you the information you need to understand your business’s current situation. This empowers better decisions, faster responses to change, and more advantageous manoeuvring. If you can manage your stock well, you can satisfy your customers faster, stay abreast of market shifts, and respond with more agility. Good stock management makes you more able to do more business.
What is the purpose of a stock management system in a warehouse
A stock control system plays a crucial role in the efficient and effective management of inventory within a warehouse. It empowers businesses to streamline their operations, maintain accurate stock levels, and optimise overall warehouse performance.
By utilizing advanced technologies such as barcode scanning, RFID tagging, or automated data capture, the system allows for real-time monitoring and tracking of stock movements. This real-time visibility enables warehouse managers to have an up-to-date view of inventory levels, facilitating better decision-making in purchasing, production planning, and order fulfillment processes.
By reducing the time taken to locate items, pickers can increase their productivity and fulfill orders more efficiently. The system can also prioritise orders based on various factors such as delivery deadlines or product priority, ensuring timely and accurate order fulfillment.
