One of the most important tasks food manufacturers and distributors undertake is a stocktake. Traditionally, businesses undertake a stock-take once a year, before the end of the financial year. But is once a year enough? By undertaking regular stocktakes, your business can improve efficiencies, controls and the financials of the business for the rest of the year.
By only undertaking a yearly stocktake, businesses could face:
- Stock shortages – not having stock available to meet your customer’s needs.
- Misplaced stock – losing stock in transit or within storage or warehouse.
- Damaged stock – customers could receive sub-standard stock.
- Out of date issues – health and safety issues for businesses in food manufacturing.
- Incomplete orders – employees or distributors may not fully complete orders.
- Financial costs – product loss and refunds can be detrimental to profit.
At Acacia, we understand that businesses have limited time and resources to undertake weekly or daily stocktakes. We help businesses find solutions to deal with stocktake problems, and can provide benefits such as daily stocktakes, 24/7 access to information and improvements to your businesses financial performance.
With the right automated and traceable stocktake processes in place, businesses will see immediate improvements in Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). Proper stock control will ensure all business departments will become more efficient.
