Inventory Management

A Total C-Store Inventory Management Solution

The SSCS c-store inventory management control solution, anchored by CBDWin’s back office technology, is one of the most comprehensive in the industry. It’s core strength is CDBWin’s ability to work together with your POS and SSCS scanning software to create a total inventory management solution “by line item”. Superior precision and inventory management control is achieved with benefits that include reduced shrink, identification of dead stock and non-moving items, and extended control over gross profit. The practice of tracking inventory by line item is facilitated by incorporating item scanning technology and a hand-held terminal (HHT). This capability and the SSCS poller interface software that allows price changes and new items to be sent effortlessly to your point-of-sale (POS) system ensure your back office values and counts remain aligned with your register.

An almost unlimited number of inventory items—including food service items such as deli sandwiches and the ingredients that are linked to them—can be stored and tracked with the CDBWin inventory management solution, though users will be limited to the storage capacity of the computer and their POS system since inventory items “move” from CDBWin to the POS.

Manage Inventory Pricing Effectively

With the inventory management module you can more easily manage your price book to reflect changing costs and updated prices at the point-of-sale. Automation makes it less time-consuming to update inventory. You can import merchandise records received from vendors and identify new items and cost changes simply by checking the items on your computer screen. In addition, you can assign each new item to the proper department, set the minimum and maximum quantities you wish to carry, and determine the desired margin. When the application displays a notice that a cost has changed you can enter a margin that meets your expectations in the Margin field, electronically transfer the new and modified items and prices to the POS price book, and print new shelf tags for them. Often these activities can be completed before the products are stocked.

Know What Is on Your Shelves…Now!

The CDBWin inventory management system permits c-store managers to identify slow movers, overstocked items, and items that have not sold for a specific time period, so you don’t waste valuable shelf space on items that are not creating a return on your investment. CDBWin helps you remove and replace the dead stock, over stocked, and slow-moving items in a timely manner, assuring you are carrying products that can generate a profit.
