Stock by Showroom, Godown and Display Piece

Furniture inventory counts each model separately for showroom floor, godown and display piece. Pieces are reserved against orders, and low-stock models are flagged before a popular sofa runs out.

Display pieces and promised delivery

A salesperson looking across the floor may promise the walnut dining set for the weekend on the strength of what is on show. If the only piece left in the godown is the display one, somebody has to call the customer, apologise and reopen the order. Separate counts by location prevent that promise.

What the stock screen keeps apart

Showroom, godown and display

Every model carries a count for the showroom floor and for the godown, and display pieces are marked on their own, so nothing marked display is promised as new.

Reserved against an order

Once an advance is taken, the piece is held for that order, and it stops showing as free stock to the next salesperson walking a customer round the floor.

Fabric, finish and size

A sofa offered in two fabrics is two lines, and the count follows the fabric code and finish the customer will actually receive.

Goods received

Stock rises when the lorry is unloaded, entered by the store manager as he receives it. Godown and screen agree the same evening.

Low stock

Each model has a level below which it is reordered, and models that have fallen under that level appear as a list on screen for the store manager.

Showrooms and a warehouse under one count

Stock in a second branch can be read from the first, which settles the usual phone call to the other showroom before the customer has left the floor.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we see display pieces separately from sellable stock?

Yes. A display piece is marked as display, so it counts in stock value but is never promised as new. When it is cleared at a discount, it sells like any other piece.

Does it handle a warehouse away from the showroom?

Yes. Showrooms and godowns are separate locations, and a movement between them is entered as a transfer. The counter sees both before giving a date.

What if the physical count and the screen disagree?

Somebody has to walk the godown, because software cannot see a shelf. The screen shows the difference and saves each correction against the user who made it, so counts can be traced later.
