Sku-Barcode "Itemized"
 inventories
​
SKU (stock keeping unit), UPC ( universal product code) and NDC (national drug code) inventories provide item-level totals per brandname. The amount of information you receive is more voluminous, detailed and precise. By downloading your price book the inventory can be counted directly at cost value instead of at retail by margin. This information can help with marketing, shrinkage, purchasing, customer usage & history, lead times, order points, product cycles and statistical information useful in managing a business. This format keeps Point of sale system quantities and records updated and accurate. An itemized count is needed in a baseline audit where a product inventory file has to be created from scratch. Owners transitioning from a traditional cash register to a Point of sale system will need such a count to populate new software. Its also useful when a bulk liquor transfer of the inventory is required. Since only a daily margin of error greater than 3% can distort POS data and render it useless, inaccuracy can confuse and negatively affect your management decisions! Data entry by barcode scanning provides better accuracy than a manual entry count. Item-level inventories give all the benefits received in a financial plus much more!

 

 

Financial Inventories

 

Financials are the simplest and least expensive format used to count your merchandise. These inventories are generally quick and the results immediate. The totals are often used to determine cost of goods sold and gross profit margins. The inventory is categorized (not itemized) and counted by department, at retail value. It can be used to monitor shrinkage, maintain inventory control as well as provide ROI information and statistics. Financials are typically used by retail businesses for tax reporting, profit & loss calculations and change of ownership/management purposes. We compute and convert by margin retail totals to cost for no additional charge.
