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
The captured pages describe a service for searching, comparing and booking carriage of goods, and treat warehouse management systems as external platforms it connects to by API rather than something it includes. We found no public information on stock figures, movement history, bin locations, batches, serial numbers or channel synchronisation, so there is nothing here to run twenty-two client stock ledgers on. 3 11 1
