Software for Stock Management
Accurate and effective stock management can greatly influence your attraction’s productivity and profitability. By ensuring you have just the right amount of stock, whether that’s merchandise in the gift shop or food in the kitchen, you can reduce waste, increase sales and retain customers, all whilst maximising turnover!
Why is stock management important for visitor attractions?
Online and integrated stock management tools allow for vital information on stock levels and costs to be stored in one place, meaning you can access all data as and when needed.
As stock levels change across your visitor attraction, centralised stock management allows you to track how each product sells, ensuring you can keep up to date with customer demand as well as spending patterns and trends. This will allow you to make informed business decisions as your attraction can purchase appropriate stock and ensure visitors can purchase what they want when they want it, creating a seamless customer experience.
Not only this, but effective stock management will also eliminate time-consuming inventory processes for your employees, giving them more time to focus on other important factors such as offering your visitors a truly memorable experience.
How software for stock management supports wider attraction efficiency
With our software for stock management, your attraction will also have access to real-time stock levels, so you can prevent employees from accidentally selling sold-out stock in your gift shop, or from taking orders for out-of-stock foods or drinks.
Whenever stock is purchased from different points across your attraction, your stock levels will be updated automatically, meaning your physical and digital stockrooms are always synchronised. You will also be able to access these stock levels in real-time, as well as amend amounts and prices, from anywhere in your attraction.
Make informed business decisions based on spending patterns
When stock begins running low, you will be notified. You can then create the relevant purchase orders from the correct supplier in order to avoid selling out of stock where possible. In doing so, you can be confident that you will always be able to provide for your customers’ wants and needs while visiting your attraction.
Not only this, but the data provided on stock levels and sales allows you to gather information on patterns and trends. For example, if you sell more hot drinks in your restaurant during the colder months, you can ensure you order more than you would during summer.

Never make requests for stock from the wrong supplier again
Supplier details including company name, multiple contacts, lead-time, supplier codes and account numbers can be added to the system.
Once a supplier is selected, the system will only allow products linked to that supplier to be added to a purchase order. The last recorded purchase price and quantity will be automatically populated, and you can easily include special instructions and delivery rates if they apply.
Avoid accidentally selling sold out stock
Purchase orders will be linked to delivery notes, recalling stock details from the respective purchase. You can amend amounts and prices, as well as remove lines if necessary in order to match the physical delivery.
The delivered stock will be added to the selected stockroom for each product line entered. Stock is then decremented automatically based on sales, both at the EPOS & online.
By being able to add, adjust, relocate, write off, return stock and record damaged products within the system, your stock levels consistently remain up to date. This means your physical and digital stockrooms will be completely synchronised, so you can ensure you never oversell stock, whether that’s in the gift shop or at your restaurant, again.
