By being in control you have to make decisions, do we order some of this , what's the price of that and you are the fountain of all knowledge. Its one thing having your finger on the pulse but as you grow this can also cut off the blood supply. By having no means of counting stock quickly it might be that you don't know the trading profitability until the account year end. The stock figure is bad enough, but you probably have no concept of the various adjustments that quite often just aren't being recorded, it could be genuine, you could be being ripped off. Pricing queries keep you pinned down near the checkout due to unsatisfactory labelling and as you bought them you have to set the selling price.

The use of radio handsets to count and rectify stock balances as part of a rolling or annual stock take is extremely valuable. It makes stock levels a far more useful tool, providing valuations, age of stock, and stock level visibility, greatly aiding buying decisions. Stock control generally is improved now that we can identify shrinkage, own use and wastage, from using the radio handsets. On the tills touch menus eliminate the need for lots of pricing books, the product prices and barcodes can be amended during the day. The searching for older copy invoices takes a lot of pressure of dealing with returns. Using scanning to check the deliveries against the order confirms the right goods get delivered, are on the system and their barcode works properly. The advantage of entering goods is that they go into stock as well as into the label queue for printing of price labels.
