In today's fast-paced business environment, effective inventory management is crucial for companies of all sizes. That’s why we developed Innstock, a game-changing solution that enhances stock control capabilities within Sage Intacct. As a cloud-native and directly integrated application, Innstock pushes the boundaries of what's possible in inventory management, offering a suite of advanced features that streamline operations and boost efficiency.
Seamless Integration and Customisation
One of Innstock's primary strengths lies in its seamless integration with Sage Intacct. This direct connection ensures that data flows smoothly between systems, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing the risk of errors. Moreover, Innstock's flexibility allows businesses to configure the process to align with their unique workflows and requirements.
For example, a manufacturing company might set up Innstock to automatically trigger reorder points based on production schedules, while a retail business could configure it to manage seasonal inventory fluctuations. This level of customisation ensures that Innstock adapts to your business, not the other way around.
Comprehensive Additional Functions
Innstock goes beyond Sage Intacct's native capabilities by offering a range of advanced features that address common pain points in inventory management:
-
Multiple Barcodes & Multipliers: Innstock supports multiple barcodes for a single item, making it easier to manage products with various packaging sizes or configurations. For instance, a beverage distributor can use different barcodes for individual cans, six-packs, and cases, all linked to the same product in the system.
-
Label Production: Generate customised labels with product information, barcodes, and even QR codes. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that need to create labels for shipments or internal tracking purposes.
-
Route Management: Optimise delivery routes and manage logistics more efficiently. A food distribution company, for example, could use this feature to plan the most cost-effective routes for multiple deliveries, considering factors like distance, traffic, and delivery windows.
-
Handheld and Perpetual Stocktake: Conduct inventory counts using mobile devices, allowing for real-time updates and continuous inventory tracking. This feature enables businesses to maintain accurate stock levels without disrupting daily operations.
-
Authorisation Workflows: Implement approval processes for inventory-related actions, ensuring proper oversight and control. For instance, a retail chain could set up authorisations for inter-store transfers or large quantity adjustments.
-
Pick/Pack/Dispatch Functionality: Streamline the order fulfilment process with guided picking, packing, and dispatch operations. An e-commerce business could use this feature to improve order accuracy and reduce processing time, leading to faster deliveries and increased customer satisfaction.
Driving Efficiency and Productivity
By incorporating these advanced features, Innstock significantly enhances operational efficiency. For example, a warehouse using Innstock's handheld stocktake feature can reduce the time spent on physical inventory counts by up to 50%, allowing staff to focus on more value-added tasks.
The pick/pack/dispatch functionality can increase order fulfilment accuracy to over 99%, minimising returns and improving customer satisfaction. Additionally, the route management feature can help logistics companies reduce fuel costs and delivery times by optimising delivery routes, potentially saving up to 20% on transportation expenses.
Real-time Inventory Insights
One of Innstock's most powerful features is its ability to provide real-time inventory insights. This capability ensures that both warehouse teams and back-office staff have access to the most up-to-date information on stock levels, movements, and trends.
Imagine a scenario where a popular product suddenly goes viral on social media. With Innstock's real-time insights, purchasing managers can quickly identify the surge in demand and initiate reorders to prevent stock-outs. Meanwhile, warehouse staff can prioritise restocking and order fulfilment for this high-demand item, ensuring smooth operations despite the unexpected spike in sales.
This real-time visibility also enables better decision-making across the organisation. Finance teams can access accurate inventory valuations for financial reporting, while sales teams can confidently promise delivery dates based on current stock levels and incoming shipments.
Scalability and Attainability
As businesses grow and evolve, their inventory management needs often become more complex. Innstock is designed to scale seamlessly with your organisation, accommodating increased transaction volumes, additional warehouse locations, or new product lines without compromising performance.
For instance, a growing retailer expanding from a single store to a multi-location operation can rely on Innstock to manage inventory across all sites, maintaining centralised control while allowing for location-specific stock management.
Furthermore, Innstock is attainable for businesses of various sizes and industries. Its cloud-based nature means lower upfront costs compared to traditional on-premise solutions, and its integration with Sage Intacct ensures a faster implementation process.
Your Future
Innstock represents a significant leap forward in inventory management capabilities for Sage Intacct users. By offering a comprehensive suite of features that address common challenges in stock control, Innstock empowers businesses to optimise their inventory processes, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction.
From its seamless integration and customisation options to its advanced functions like multiple barcode support, route management, and real-time insights, Innstock provides the tools necessary to stay competitive in today's fast-paced business environment. Whether you're a small e-commerce startup or a large multinational corporation, Innstock's scalability and attainability make it a valuable addition to your inventory management toolkit.
By implementing Innstock, businesses can expect to see improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making capabilities, ultimately leading to better inventory control and a stronger bottom line. As the business landscape continues to evolve, Innstock stands ready to help organisations adapt and thrive in an increasingly complex world of inventory management.
