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 Warehouse Manager
Every stock in, out, transfer and return is historised, stock sits per location with picking/reserve separation and lot numbers, and the handheld inventory process scans and logs every adjustment — that is the ledger discipline I run shifts on. Replenishment thresholds, supplier purchase orders for incoming stock and real-time synchronisation to every sales channel are all documented, and I can export stock variation, orders and shipments in CSV. I found no public information on serial numbers, best-before dates, a stated inventory valuation method or demand forecasting, which keeps it a solid notch below audit-proof. 2 7 8 10
