bisTrack: Enterprise & stock management software

Business control systems

Clearly you need to keep a close eye on the business to keep moving forwards. Controlling your stock, and controlling your costs is a big part of this. bisTrack enterprise management software can help.

Business & stock control

Keeping on top of your figuresbisTrack supports stock recording detail for the most demanding of companies:

  • multiple picking zones (e.g. doors and kitchen worktops in separate warehouses)
  • multiple bin locations for bulk stock and picking stock
  • physical stock and free stock
  • allocations from forward orders
  • stock on order and stock due, allowing you to sell from shipping documents before stock has physically arrived
  • stock with third parties, allowing Added Value Operations to be sub-contracted
  • stock with processing, allowing stock issued to internally to be accounted for whilst work/fabrication is in progress

Stock rotation and test certificates

Stock management may differ from business-area to business-area. Stock may be kept separate by batch received for first-in, first-out rotation and costing. Stock costs may be actual or standard. Test certificates or similar documents can be cross-referenced to batches or individual items and may be viewed from within order screens.

Branch transfers and account synchronisation

Stock may be transferred between branches with automatic generation of the required General Ledger entries. bisTrack is readily synchronised with your accounts package (Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, Sage, Business Works, etc.). bisTrack includes its own sales ledger.

Keeping track of your stock

All stock movements are traceable from receipt through to issue. Add a reason code for any stock adjustments for management of write-offs, damage, free-of-charge issues, and so on. Build a management picture of why you're having to accept adjustments by analysing returns using our Business Intelligence tools.

Stock takes

Stock takes can be perpetual, by range or full stock counts. bisTrack supports the stock controller with count sheets and variance reports for single blind stock counts. Being a Windows-based product, handheld count devices are simple to integrate with bisTrack. bisTrack mobile and wireless devices really cut down the work in stocktaking as well as reducing errors. As new technology comes along, the software is easily extended to take advantage. It’s what we like doing.

Benefits: You want to sell stock now, but you also want to be in the strongest possible position to meet customer demand next week, the week after, and the week after that. You need pinpoint control and visibility of your stock at all times.
