Stock and purchasing

The store knows what to buy before the plan needs it.

The menu plan and counts give the coming days' needs; take away what's in stock and on order, and the purchase suggestion is ready.

A storekeeper counts stock with a tablet in a tidy dry store.

Purchasing

    Each supplier's products, pack sizes and dated prices.

  • Purchase orders

    From the suggestion or by hand; ready to send to the supplier.

  • Goods-in and returns
