Inventory Management
The WoodStock© Inventory Management module was designed to assist you in managing your inventory based on up-to-date information. As customer orders are processed, or items are received, item stock status is immediately updated so that balances reflecting items available for sale are current. Additionally, sales history for preceding twelve months is collected for each item, and along with seasonal weighting factors, weeks stock desired, vendor lead time and weeks supply on-hand, provide you with information necessary to make informed buying decisions. With WoodStock©, you can have surplus and obsolete inventory reported on demand, calculate reorder levels and notify purchasing when an item should be reordered, and report on canceled back orders daily. WoodStock© will help you manage your inventory so that investment dollars are transferred from slow moving items and used to establish higher service levels in the items generating the most sales and contributing the most profit. WoodStock© makes it possible for enterprises such as yours to actually reduce their inventory investment substantially while maintaining or even increasing their customer service levels, and to simultaneously increase their inventory turns.
