What is inventory management?
Inventory management is crucial to any business – so it’s a good idea to get your head around what it is, and what it isn’t. Essentially, inventory management is all about making sure you’ve got enough stock, in the correct locations, priced and purchased at the right amount. Because this can quickly grow complicated with a growing inventory, many SMEs choose to use an automated inventory management software.
Frameworks is a comprehensive inventory management ERP system, offering everything you need and nothing you don’t.
What are the functions of inventory management systems?
Multi-Branch Stock Control
Frameworks’ multi-branch stock control allows you to manage inventory priced differently across various outlets. This flexibility includes multiple units of measure (UOMs) and suppliers while keeping a consistent SKU system.
Cost Flexibility
With Frameworks, you can value your products using average cost or standard/replacement cost. Set margins on replacement costs while handling sales transactions separately using average costing. This flexibility ensures precise financial tracking and streamlined operations.
