A catalogue that knows its packs

Each product has a base unit and the packs it comes in: a box of 20, a crate of 10 boxes. Orders are written in the pack the vendor sells; stock is counted in base units; the shelf shows both.

  • GTIN on the product and on each pack, so any barcode on the packaging is recognised
  • Reorder point, par level and reorder quantity per product
  • Preferred vendor, vendor codes and prices per pack
  • Lot, expiry and serial tracking switched on per product

Purchase orders that run themselves

Suggested orders gather everything at or under its reorder point into one draft per vendor, topped up to par. Orders over a threshold go to a manager first. Sending an order emails it to the vendor in their own codes.

  • Draft, awaiting approval, approved, sent, partly received, received, closed
  • Line totals, tax and currency per order
  • Every delivery against the order is listed on it

Receiving by scanning the label

A GS1 DataMatrix or HIBC barcode carries the product, lot, expiry and serial. Scanning it fills the line in; the person only says where it was put. A day of 00 on the label is read as the end of the month, as the standard says.

  • Receive against an order, or book in a delivery that had none
  • Over-delivery held to a tolerance; the rest is refused
  • Each line names the pack it arrived as, its unit cost and its location

Expiry, recalls and the cold chain

A nightly check raises alerts for lots inside the warning window and marks expired ones, quarantining them where the organisation asks. A recall notice, by product or GTIN and lot numbers, is matched to the stock on hand; actioning it quarantines every matching unit and tells your systems.

  • Warning window per organisation, overridable per product
  • Low stock emails to the people who order
  • Temperature readings against each location's range

A ledger that cannot be edited

Every receipt, move, use, count, hold, release and write-off is a movement in a ledger that is only ever added to. Who did it, when, from where to where, against which order and reference.

  • History per product, per lot, per location
  • Activity, sign-in and refusal logs for the organisation
  • Reports the auditor can read, not reconstruct
