Centralized Access to Critical Item Information
With the Check Price and Stock function, users can quickly search for any product by SKU, item name, or barcode. Whether using a barcode scanner or simply typing in an identifier, the platform pulls real-time data directly from the item manager, offering a centralized view of each item’s:
- Sales price
- Available stock across locations
- Pending fulfillment quantities
- Preferred supplier
- Product images (when available)
This not only improves operational speed, but also ensures that the information being referenced is accurate and up to date.
Warehouse-Specific Visibility
One of the key benefits of this feature is its ability to display stock by individual warehouse. When managing multiple locations or distribution centers, visibility into specific stock levels is critical for planning transfers, managing orders, or preparing for restocking.
Users can easily filter by a single warehouse—such as a retail floor, backroom, or distribution hub—or choose to view combined stock across all locations. This flexibility supports better inventory control and helps staff provide informed answers to customer inquiries without delay.
Intelligent Stock and Order Management
In addition to current stock levels, the system displays pending fulfillment quantities, which reflect the number of units already committed to open orders. This is especially helpful for understanding the true availability of an item.
For example, an item might show a stock level of two units, but with six units already allocated to pending orders, the system will clearly indicate that the item is effectively unavailable. This proactive visibility helps staff avoid overselling and supports timely decision-making regarding backorders or supplier reorders.
Enhanced Customer Service and Workflow Efficiency
The Check Price and Stock feature enhances the customer experience by enabling staff to respond to stock inquiries immediately—without switching between systems or contacting the warehouse. It also streamlines internal workflows, reducing errors and time spent manually tracking down information.
Whether helping a customer on the retail floor or fulfilling an online order, employees can confidently confirm stock levels and pricing, ensuring smooth, informed transactions.
