David Hewitt, Head of Global Support & Implementation at RetailSystem, an award-winning and industry’s leading POS and ERP software for furniture and bed retailers, talks about stock control.
Would you leave a bag of cash on the side, with no idea how much is in it—or where it’s gone? Of course not. But for many furniture and bed retailers, that’s exactly what poor stock control amounts to: a pile of money left unattended.
Stock is a retailer’s currency. It’s not just boxes in a warehouse—it’s literally cash that’s not in the bank. Whether you’re a single-location store with £50,000 in inventory or a national chain managing millions, your stock represents one of your most valuable assets. And without proper stock control, you’re risking not only financial loss, but also operational chaos and poor customer experience.
That’s where RetailSystem comes in. Trusted by retailers across three continents, RetailSystem treats your stock with the respect and precision it deserves. Its secure, transparent and simple-to-use stock control module gives you complete visibility over your inventory—down to the last item.
Stock control goes far beyond knowing what you’ve got in the back room. It affects every part of your business:
- Customer Experience: Accurate stock levels mean realistic lead times and fewer disappointed customers.
- Operational Efficiency: Avoid product selection errors, misallocated stock, and endless hours manually cross-checking.
- Service & Returns: A clean audit trail for every item means faster issue resolution and less finger-pointing.
At RetailSystem, we believe in equipping retailers with tools that work for them—not the other way around. Our stock module includes barcode scanning, barcoded product labeling, inter-branch transfer capabilities, and live data integration with QuickBooks. Every stick of stock is traceable, accountable, and visible. No surprises. No gaps. No excuses.
We’re constantly reviewing the competition as we onboard new clients—and we’re proud to say that in our opinion, nothing comes close to the robustness, transparency and simplicity of RetailSystem’s stock control module. It’s not just software; it’s peace of mind.
Retailers shouldn’t settle for anything less. When your stock is essentially your cash, why risk it with second-rate systems or outdated spreadsheets?
Now more than ever, with supply chains under pressure and customer expectations higher than ever, precise stock control isn’t just a good idea—it’s critical.
Don’t leave your money on the side.
Trust RetailSystem to lock it down, secure it, and make it work for your business.
