Have you ever had these thoughts...
"I wonder how much money I'm really making? ... Sales look good and shelves seem to be stocked about right, but I don't have any money in the checking account... What's going on? ... Is my inventory being stolen? ... Am I overstocked? ... Am I putting too many items on sale? ... Is my overhead getting out of line? ... Do I need to raise prices? ... Is this just temporary, and I'll be OK in another month or two?!"
If you have ever asked yourself these questions, and you are still using a regular cash register and accounting by hand... you know you will only get your answer with lots of time and guess work.
SmartRegister™ is designed to help you answer these questions, and many more, in a fraction of the time. SmartRegister™ gives you the information you need to control your business. Here are just a few examples of how the SmartRegister™ can help you answer these questions quickly.
Shrinkage: If you don't have an inventory control system, you're guessing at your shrinkage.
You buy items, add your mark-up and sell them. Then you take inventory and find you're off by 5%... and you chalk it up to shrinkage.
But was it really shrinkage? or did you lose some of that due to sales and discounts... and if so, how much? And what about that special purchase you made, that was supposed to add 1% to the bottom line. Where did that 1% go?
With the SmartRegister™ Inventory Control System, you'll know exactly how many of each item you should have on the shelf.
You'll know if they were all rung up or they walked out the door. You'll know your exact shrinkage because your system will tell you exactly which items are missing. (We know one small retailer who saved hundreds of dollars per year simply by moving one item to a place where they could keep an eye on it.)
Overstock: You've had your store for a while. Do you know if you're overstocked or not?... Are you right?
As a matter of fact, yes... you probably do know you're overstocked. But do you know by how much? And do you know when you can expect that cash flow to turn around?
With the SmartRegister™ Inventory Control you'll know exactly how much inventory you have in the store at any given time.
Once you develop a little history, you'll know when you're a little overstocked or a lot. You'll know just how much extra cash you can expect to receive as you sell your inventory down to its proper level.
The Sale: Am I putting too many items on Sale?
You know what margin you want on your sales, but if you don't have a system to track exactly what was sold you don't KNOW what your margin really is until you take a physical inventory.
With SmartRegister™ Inventory Control you'll know every day whether you're getting your margin or not. You'll no longer need to wait until inventory time to see your true margin.
SmartRegister™ tracks the actual cost and sale price of every item sold so you'll know the effect of your sale during the sale.
