Having the right amount of stock to maintain customer service levels is critical to profitability. Too much stock ties up too much working capital and warehouse space. Under stocking, or the wrong mix, could mean failure to meet orders and lower service levels.

The Accord Stock Control module, tightly integrated with Sales and Purchase Order Management, EPoS and Warehouse Management, allows you to effectively monitor stock. As a result you can forecast demand and streamline stockholding - thereby releasing working capital and increasing overall profitability - yet maintain customer service levels.

Key features in Accord's Inventory Management software include:

• Adaptive Demand Forecasting
• Real Time Operation
• Effective use of Bar Code Technology for Accurate Stock Recording
• Stock Evaluation by FIFO, Average or Current Cost
• Full reporting
• Low Stock Alerts
