Inventory & stock control
How this is scored
Whether the stock figure can be trusted: every goods receipt, sale, transfer, return and correction booked as a movement, stock per location and channel, batches, serial numbers and best-before dates where the goods need them, reorder points and purchase orders, and stock synchronised to every sales channel so nothing is oversold.
0 — No stock keeping; quantities live in the shop or in a spreadsheet.
3 — A stock number per product that can be edited by hand, with no movement history, no locations and no link to purchasing.
5 — Stock per product and warehouse updated by orders and goods receipts, synchronised to the connected sales channels, with low-stock alerts and purchase orders to suppliers.
8 — Every movement booked with a reason and a user, stock per bin location, batches, serial numbers and expiry dates tracked, stocktaking (cycle or annual) supported, bundles and kits resolved to components, and reorder suggestions from sales history.
10 — The stock record is an audit-proof ledger: complete movement history exportable, inventory valuation method stated (FIFO, average cost), multi-warehouse and multi-entity stock with transfers in transit, demand forecasting documented, and the stock figure reconciled across every channel in near real time.
The Fulfilment Provider
Stock movements are tracked in real time with adjustments recorded in the item's history, batches are shown in FIFO order with expired batches blocked at the picking step, serial numbers are booked with recorded adjustments, bins and multiple locations are supported, kits resolve through bills of materials, and reorder quantities are calculated from forecast demand, safety stock and MOQ. I found no public information on stocktaking or cycle counts or on a stated inventory valuation method, and for a house like mine the native 3PL link with stock levels and inbound shipments is itself listed as coming soon, with nothing on keeping many client brands' stock apart as separate entities. 1 2 8 9 10
