Point of Sale, Inventory Control and Back Office Accounting for the Retail Garden Center and Nursery Industries
Garden Center Software (GCS) • Inventory Features    
Good inventory control is essential to properly running a business. If you run out of stock, you will lose sales. If you have too much stock, the lack of cash flow will hurt you. GCS makes inventory control easy for you to track, print out reports and always be aware of your stock levels.
 

Garden Center Software's inventory management is sophisticated yet incredibly easy to use and fast. GCS allows multiple descriptions (eg. plant names) per item. Powerful searching & sorting capabilities. Readily identifies what’s moving & what isn’t. Allows multiple bar codes & vendors per SKU. Allows modification of SKU #s without affecting sales history on previous sales on the part that was referenced by that SKU number. Eliminates having to start recording sales from scratch if an SKU is changed. Each Inventory item or Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) can also be linked to any Encyclopedia entry or picture for use in our exclusive Sign & Label printing module.

If you've tried to count your inventory before and make sense of what you've got and how much it's really worth then you'll appreciate our inventory management system. We track everything and let examine it in many ways in predefined accounting reports that also have custom search criteria available to truly customize your searches without having to write a single line of code. we've already spent the days, weeks and months required to think up and organize these reports into meaningful systems that will help you comb those 10,000 SKUs for orphan items and your TOP 50 and BOTTOM 50 times by sales volume or item volume. You'll be able to identify your hot movers and dead stock for any SEASON or period. You'll be able to analyze your inventory to determine what you should buy to meet next seasons demands based on real historical facts that will show you what you were under-stocked and overstocked on.

Remember that dead moving stock is dead money and missed opportunity funds that are locked up in dusty articles that might even look like they're furniture because they've been there so long. Don't get caught in the trap again because you guessed. Now you won't have an excuse. You'll actually be armed to make some very intelligent decisions based on fact not fiction - your memory can play tricks on you. If you follow the system and apply your new knowledge you'll probably be able to reduce your inventory by up to 10-30% while also increasing your revenue by as much because you were able to stock what was moving with the money you recouped from the dead stock.

Optimize your inventory and you'll be much more competitive - the winner.


After you have generated some history, the system will examine your inventory sales and recommend new highs and lows based on the sales volumes, number of days it takes to arrive, and if the trend is showing more or less sales. With barcode support, you can ensure accurate control, counting and selling of your inventory. While barcode support is included in GCS, bar codes are not for everyone, and we can show you several alternate methods of controlling inventory.
