Inventory Tracking and Stock Control Software for Small Businesses

Posted on by Victoria Chambers

Here at Foresiight, we’ve been helping small businesses from across Australia for over 35 years with our business management and stock control software solutions. There are a wide range of specialised industries we support with our software, including our flagship product ProfiitPlus. No one knows better than us the amount of hard work that goes into running any kind of small business.

Whatever it is your small business does, whatever industry you’re in, one thing you need to take particular care with is your inventory tracking and stock control. Your product is the lifeblood of your company, and one little mistake with your stock can upend your records and throw your whole system out of order, requiring you to spend a ridiculous amount of time and money putting everything back in its place.

With Foresiight’s business management software, your inventory tracking and stock control can be made quicker and easier. Here are just four of the ways that we can help your business in this area, just like how we’ve helped so many others.

Automatic Ordering

Normally you have to order new stock manually. This also means that you need to update your inventory each time you make a sale and check these records regularly so that you know what you need to order for next time.

Not with ProfiitPlus. Our business management software is automatic, and whenever it detects that you’re running low on something it’ll order more for you. No input from you required. No more checking your inventory manually and finding yourself unexpectedly understocked on any product ever again.

Automatic Tracking

ProfiitPlus doesn’t just order new stock for you; with each sale made it updates your inventory records as well. You can rest assured that with ProfiitPlus your inventory records will always completely up-to-date and accurate.

Then, when it comes time for you to do stocktake, your job is all but already done for you! Check just once and you’ll see for yourself that ProfiitPlus has recorded your inventory numbers perfectly.

Forecasting Your Future Inventory Needs

ProfiitPlus automatically records your sales, updates your inventory, and orders more stock, but that’s far from all it does. As our business management software updates your data, it also puts it to use in a revolutionary way!

With your inventory data, ProfiitPlus is able to calculate trends, make predictions, and offer you sound advice on what your business will need in the near future. Forecasting your inventory needs, ProfiitPlus can let you know what’s going to be popular, and ensure you order more of it in preparation for the impending rush. Try it for yourself and see just how accurate its advice is!

And so much more!

Whereas other inventory tracking software does only that, Foresiight’s business management software has a wider scope of functionality for an investment that suits SME budgets.

Don’t just get inventory management software when you could also get business management software that helps with inventory, accounting, staff rostering and management, point of sale hardware and software, and more. ProfiitPlus handles all these duties for you, and it does so all in the same digital place!

Contact us today!

Docket Printing Customisations

Posted on by Steve

Do you use a docket printer at the Point of Sale?

Printing receipts on a thermal docket printer can be a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option than printing full-sized A4 invoices. And equally importantly – it is usually faster, saving valuable seconds and enhancing the customer experience.

ProfiitPlus and Alchemii allow a range of customisations around the way that your dockets are printed. The screenshot below shows the settings that are available to be configured.

These settings can be accessed by navigating to POS Control | System | System Parameters, then clicking on the Docket Printing button. Most of the options are fairly self-explanatory, but for further clarification you can hover your mouse cursor over each setting to see a “hint” (within the software – not the screenshot!).

A couple of extra options are available via the Receipt Settings tab.

You can select the default type of receipt to print (Invoice or Docket) for each type of sales transaction. For example, it is common to print a Docket for “cash” customers, and an A4 Invoice for account customers.

What’s more, you can even add a message at the bottom of your dockets. This can be a great way to raise awareness about your current promotion.

If you have any questions around Docket Printing, please refer to the Knowledge Base or feel free to give our Support Team a call and have a chat!

ProfiitPlus – Australian Business Management Software

Posted on by Victoria Chambers

Foresiight has been helping hard working Australians manage their businesses for over 35 years. As a Brisbane based, Australian run company ourselves, we know exactly what it takes to effectively run, support, and grow a successful business in Australia. That’s what we’re here for, to help you manage and stay in control of all aspects of your business so you can see it thrive in the Aussie marketplace.

How Foresiight Helps Australians Manage Their Business Needs

Each and every business in Australia has its own different needs. That’s an incredible number of unique elements to keep track of, more than anyone can count! This is why Foresiight provides all in one Austlralian business management software ProfiitPlus to keep every part of your business centralised.

We keep track of all the most vital business elements to help you keep things running as effectively and efficiently as possible. Following are some of the core things that we can help you track and manage, helping you stay on top of everything so your business can stand out and prosper.

  1. Purchasing and Inventory

Our business management software will track of each and every customer purchase made. Whether it’s made in person in one of your Australian locations, or even if it’s made internationally through your website, our business management software will monitor and record the details of every exchange. From processing payments and purchasing information, to acknowledging and updating changes in stock levels, ProfiitPlus keeps it all in one place to help you avoid the drudgery and confusion of tracking each sale.

2. Accounting

Celebrate each and every sale you make, but don’t forget to track your own expenses like some Australian business owners. Our platforms make it so you don’t have to worry if the ink is red or black, ProfiitPlus will keep track of all that for you, and we’ll record and analyse your financial performance on top of that.

3. Pricing

There’s more to finance than just revenue and expenses. Fast track any price changes you need to make, whether you’re having a sale, working out shipping costs for online orders, figuring out how much the tax is, or if you’re a wholesaler or selling retail with commission. No need get your calculator out, we’ve already got it covered.

4. Customer Relationship Management

Commonly shortened to CRM, the ProfiitPlus CRM module keeps track of all your customer information. It records names and contact info, and then puts it to good use too. CRMs are the quickest and best way to let your customers know about new products and promotions, as well as keeping them up to date on any changes via email newsletters or SMS marketing. From single contacts to entire digital marketing campaigns, we’ll track your success so your customer communication is always optimised.

What are the benefits of business management software?

Whether you own a large, medium, or small business, there are dozens of operations that Australian managers need to juggle all at once. Streamlining them all by automating and tracking them in a single database provides plenty of great advantages for your company.

Centralisation

As long as you can get to a computer or device you’ll be able to access to your entire business through a single program. The benefit of being able to manage your whole business from a single piece of software rather than having one for each individual aspect speaks for itself.

Time saving

Tracking everything your business needs takes up valuable time, and as we all know, time is money. Improving efficiency increases your revenue and in turn gives both you and your employees more time to focus on doing what you do best.

Automation

Stock and sales aren’t the only things we automate. Is there an upcoming public holiday in your state? Or maybe a new product release on the horizon? Or Christmas just around the corner? Automated forecasting will help you work out trends and adjust accordingly.

Why Foresiight?

New business management software solutions are popping up all the time. However, many of them are not tailored, either to specific industries or to particular business facets. Trying to retro-fit off the shelf software to your business can be a headache.

Foresiight has been specialising in managing Australian businesses for over 35 years. Over that time we’ve developed Alchemii, Liinc, and our flagship software, ProfiitPlus, to handle the unique needs of the marketplace in this country, across a range of specialised industries. There’s no need to worry about accidentally working something out in US dollars, we know Australian businesses and understand the challenges you face because that’s who we are too.

Even before you join up with Foresiight we’re happy to lend a hand through the same support we give all our customers. Give us a call, send us an email, or contact us through our website, and our Australian based team will assist however we can. All contact goes through us, so you can have peace of mind knowing you’re speaking with someone who truly knows what you need as an Australian business owner.

8 reasons why you need hardware store software

8 reasons why you need hardware store software

Posted on by Victoria Chambers

Hardware store software that is customised to your industry will enable you to streamline and simplify your hardware store business. Here are 8 reasons why your business needs hardware store software.

  • Inventory

Getting inventory (or stock) levels right is critical to the success of hardware stores. You don’t want to buy and store stock that doesn’t sell because this significantly impacts the bottom line.  Getting this wrong too many times can be difficult to recover from.

Retail business management software provides automated stock control to avoid stock overs and profit loss.

  • Staffing

For bricks and mortar hardware stores, you need to consider not only the purchase and storage of inventory but the staff levels needed to maintain to keep stock moving. The additional expense of paying for staff to move stock that doesn’t sell further impacts your bottom line.

  • Time saving

Many start-up hardware stores track stock manually. Not only does this result in inaccuracies but it is also time-consuming which results in more (avoidable) human resource expense. Hardware store software enables automated tracking so there is no requirement for manual data entry, freeing up your staff for more important jobs.

  • Automated ordering

Intelligent hardware store software will automate your ordering process and reorder stock items when they fall below a pre-set level. This can be programed to allow for seasonal fluctuation such as busier holiday periods based on your historical sales data.

  • Forecasting

Customised hardware store software will enable smart forecasting which means that it will predict what stock you need for a given period and where you need it if you have multiple sites or an e-commerce channel. This is used to inform your automated ordering discussed in reason 4.

  • Centralisation

Control your entire hardware store business through one centralised database that you can manage from anywhere you have an internet connection. This database is your single source of truth across all the multiple teams and locations in your hardware store business.

  • Pricing

The right software will allow you to set your pricing however you need it. You may price stock items differently based on whether they are sold online or in-store or even based on retail store location or customer segment. You can apply discounts on certain products and even for certain customers such as trade customers vs retail customers.

  • POS

Your point-of-sale terminals need to be integrated with your inventory management system and vice versa. So that when you sell a stock item, it will automatically be removed as an item in your inventory list and your automated ordering knows to replenish the item.

Choosing Foresiight

At Foresiight, our flagship software ProfiitPlus has been customised to meet the unique needs of the hardware store industry. We know your industry and we understand the challenges that you face.

If you’re researching hardware store software, then give the Foresiight team a call today and ask us about ProfiitPlus. ProfiitPlus has been supporting Australian hardware stores for over 30 years.

ProfiitPlus works for our clients to:

  • Automate operations
  • Free up human resources
  • Integrate POS, stock and accounts
  • Provide a better experience for your customers
  • Enable stock control
  • Integrate multiple store locations
  • Integrate bricks and mortar and online stores
  • Increase your profits

3 ways poor small business stock control is costing your business

Posted on by Victoria Chambers

Small business stock control is something that you know you should be better at right? For most business owners, as their business grows they understand that they need to implement inventory tracking software or all-in-one business management software  to properly gain control over their stock. However, it’s often put in the “too hard” basket or on the list of tasks to complete later. So what is the true cost to your business when you’re unable to achieve small business stock control?

Overstocking

Over-ordering on stock results in costs for your business to store and transport stock that you don’t need. It can also result in damaged or deteriorated stock (the longer that stock is stored the more likely it is to get damaged) and devalued stock where stock is seasonal or fashionable at a given point in time. Overstocking can result in the need to heavily discount products in order to get them off your shelves or out of your warehouse.

Lost sales

If you don’t have the right stock available for customers within their required time frame then they will go elsewhere to purchase the product. Perhaps a competitor who has achieved small business stock control or a larger competitor brand. This hits your bottom line hard in the form of lost sales. However, if you are not tracking the value of unfulfilled orders you will have no idea just how much this is impacting your bottom line.

Inability to forecast

How does accurate forecasting enable small business stock control? Without inventory tracking software or all-in-one business management software business owners rely on guess work to try and figure out how many units of a certain product they’ll move within a certain timeframe. And to the points above this can result in both overstocking and lost sales.

For further information on inventory tracking software to achieve small business stock control take a look at Foresiight’s flagship all-in-one business management software ProfiitPlus.
