Maybe it's just us but Stock Control solutions seem to be either too simple or too complicated - with not a lot in between.

They're either cheap and essentially stand-alone - which forces you to comply with their product code conventions and then double enter the stock information into either your own separate spreadsheets or existing applications for further analysis. Manually exporting 'CSV' data out of one system into another is a pain, labour intensive, error prone and anything but cheap!

Or they're expensive - as they include full-blown ERP functionality - which the majority of small businesses neither need nor can afford.

Where can Glengordon help? 

Like most of our solutions, we break the problem into small bits.

We can provide the front-end stock taking device, typically a PDA, which will allow you to capture the stock information in the warehouse or cellar. The PDA screens are clear and designed specifically for your business, making them easy to read and use. We provide two ways of operation

• remote, in which the device communicates with a host computer and continually updates a central database. An Internet or LAN connection is required for this mode of operation.
  
• disconnected, in which the device connects to the database and downloads the complete set of product stock information. This is normally done at a central office. The device can then be used in remote locations where Internet or LAN connections are not available. At the end of the stock take, the device is reconnected to the database and the information uploaded.

We obviously provide the intermediate database which stores the stock information - for either single or multi-site locations.

We can provide applications which will automate the transfer of data from one part of your solution to another - no more manual 'CSV' exporting and importing.

And we can provide a complete solution to your exact needs, interfacing to your existing tills with administrative control via web-based (available anywhere) interfaces.
