One stock count for every store and counter
Retail inventory and billing in one place: stock per store, transfers on record and a POS screen at the counter, for one store or several.
What goes wrong today
- Different stock numbers in every store with no single view of what is where
- Billing at the counter on paper or in a separate tool so sales and stock never match
- Stock moved between stores over WhatsApp with nothing on record
- No single view of what sold where until someone adds it up by hand
- Adding each store and warehouse once as a location
- Stock tracked per location, with every movement logged where it happened
- A numbered transfer from the warehouse to a store that is running low
- Billing at the counter by browsing, searching or scanning items into the cart
- Every sale as an invoice, paid or open, whichever store it came from
How a store runs in Centrik
- 1
Add your stores once
Set up each store and warehouse as a location, so every sale and every stock movement knows where it happened.
- 2
Keep each store's stock its own
Stock is tracked per location in inventory. Every receipt, sale or adjustment is logged against that place, with a type and a reason for any correction.
- 3
Move stock on record
When a store runs low, transfer stock from the warehouse. Each transfer has a number, a from and a to, in one step or as dispatch-and-receive with a check in between.
- 4
Bill at the counter
Switch on Retail POS Invoicing for a quick walk-in invoicing screen. Browse, search or scan items into the cart, and each sale becomes a GST invoice that draws down that store's stock.
