Stock Control & POP

For bookshops, stock control is an absolute essential. It’s important that you know the number of titles you have but also where they’re located (on the premises, in a warehouse, etc). With accurate stock control and management, you’ll know that you can always provide your customers with what they need, when they need it.

When stock control is managed effectively, your bookshop can:

  • See the exact number of each title available

  • Reduce the amount of wasted or unsold stock, saving time and money

  • Organise the timely arrival of new stock when your current stock runs low.

Booksolve.net is the ultimate stock control and management system for bookshops.

  • Real-time updates from warehouses and distributors so you can see exactly how much stock they have

  • A purchase order processing (POP) system and order tracking via PDFs, teleordering or print outs

  • Full integration with Pubeasy for direct ordering

At Booksolve, we have our bookshop software which can manage stock, invoices and EDI, but also our bespoke point of sale for bookshops, BPoS. When combined, the system provides everything a bookshop needs, whether you’re big or small, independent or a chain.

Our stock management system can tell you the stock in a set location and across other branches. Should you have a chain of bookshops, you can advise a customer where the book is in stock or have it moved to the current location.

Hand-held terminals allow for easy, automatic stock taking, too.

Get in touch with us today for more information about our stock management system for bookshops and how it could work for you.

What is stock control?

Stock control is the process of managing and regulating stock within a company. It involves organising your existing stock, ordering new products when required and minimising excessive inventory. When stock control is managed successfully, it allows customers to make a purchase when they need to, meeting the level of demand, without over-stocking. Over-stocking can lead to excess storage costs and reduced profitability.
