Create reliable product records
Give products consistent names, units, barcodes where appropriate and a clear category. Staff should not create duplicate items for the same physical product.
Track the entire stock journey
Evaluate whether goods received, sales, transfers, wastage, adjustments and returns leave a clear history. A dashboard is only as accurate as the transactions feeding it.
Stock alerts and purchasing
Review minimum levels using actual demand and supplier lead times, not arbitrary defaults. Use purchase history and frequent physical counts to identify discrepancies.
For multi-branch businesses
Confirm whether stock is tracked separately by location and whether transfers affect both branches. Check access permissions, branch reconciliation and consolidated reporting.
