Benefits

Benefits of inventory management in SetNow

When information about products and materials is kept in different places, it's harder to monitor stock and know what to order. Organized inventory tracking helps you put the data in order and simplify everyday workflows.

Stock control

Track quantities of products and materials to better understand what's available for work. This helps you notice in time when restocking is needed and reduces the risk of running out of the items you need.

Track material consumption

Organize information on how consumables are used. This is especially useful for companies where products are regularly used up while providing services.

Purchase planning

Up-to-date stock information helps you assess your business's needs and plan purchases based on current inventory.

Less manual work

Organized tracking makes information about products and materials easier to find. Employees find their way around the stock more easily, and managers find it easier to keep related processes under control.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

How is inventory management different from a simple product list?

A list shows which products are in stock, while inventory management means organizing information about stock levels and how they change. The operations available depend on the capabilities of the software you use.

How do I know which materials to order?

Check stock levels regularly, take consumption into account and compare your current stock with your business's needs. If the system supports minimum stock levels and low-stock notifications, these tools can make control even easier.

Do I need to track consumables if my company doesn't sell products?

Yes, tracking can be useful even without retail sales. For example, a salon or studio uses up materials when providing services, so stock control helps you plan purchases.

How often should I take stock?

It depends on the number of products, how intensively they're used and your company's internal processes. Regular stocktakes help you detect discrepancies between actual stock and your records.
