How to reconcile stock levels using an independent online shop and an ePos.
27 June 2022 Product updates
Some of the businesses we talk to have concern about using an online shop that isn't integrated with their ePos stock control.
They feel running to two separate systems will become unwielding and out of control.
The good news there is a straightforward way to keep on top of that without paying for an expensive integration.
Stock control file can be outputted to a spreadsheet (csv) from both systems.
Both files can be merged and reconciled offline.
These reconciled totals can now be updated as the live stock amount for that day and this gives a revised start point.
We find more often than not merchants become less concerned with realtime stock control and are happy to reconcile once a week or so.
