How to make use of ecommerce if you do not have a stock
control system or use non-computer based tills.
Keeping a close eye on stock levels is an important aspect of
your product delivery. So if you have a retail outlet and use
non-computer related tills you may want to take advantage of the
stock control facilities within your ecommerce store. There are
many inventive ways of achieving this and here we give you some
ideas and tips on how you can make use of the stock control and
sales functionality.
Your ecommerce site is a stock control system in its own right,
and if one could have a PC at the point of sale, next to the till,
or similar location, one could utilise this facility much further
and track their sales at the same time. For example; when each
product in the shop is sold the sales person purchases the item
from your ecommerce store under a customised credit account**
that you have created specially for your business. This way your
stock is updated and you can track your sales through the account.
If the shop is to busy to do this and as long as the items sold
have been written down, one could purchase these items from the
ecommerce site at a later time in the day when it is more convenient.
**Customer accounts can be created within your ecommerce store.
Usually for customers who purchase regularly from you or purchase
on credit terms. These customers can make online purchases but
do not make payments. They are usually invoiced and pay at a later
date. If you set up a credit account within your ecommerce store
for yourself, you could make purchases under this account and
the stock would therefore be deducted each time you make a sale.
Allowing you to also track sales within your retail shop, locations
or departments.
