Inventory Management Software That Matches the Shelf

Stock counts stop being useful the moment they are out of date. In EncoderPOS every sale, purchase, return and transfer moves stock as it happens — so the number on the screen is the number on the shelf.

One stock figure, updated by the sale itself

There is no nightly job and no separate stock module to reconcile. Billing a product decrements it, receiving a purchase order increments it, a credit note puts it back, and a branch transfer moves it — all against the same record.

  • Live stock per product, per branch
  • Sales, purchases, returns and transfers all post immediately
  • Complete movement history for every unit

Products that match how you actually buy and sell

A lipstick has shades, a medicine has a batch and an expiry, a laptop has a serial number, and cement is sold by the bag or the pallet. EncoderPOS models all of these on the same product record rather than forcing them into one shape.

  • Variations — size, colour, shade, capacity
  • Batch numbers and expiry dates
  • Serial number tracking from purchase order to receipt
  • SKUs, categories and supplier references

Reorder before the shelf is empty

Set a reorder point per product and low-stock lines surface on the dashboard and in the low-stock report. The purchase order that fixes it is raised from the same screen, so the gap between noticing and ordering is one click.

  • Per-product reorder points and low-stock alerts
  • Low-stock report exportable to Excel or PDF
  • Raise a purchase order straight from the shortfall

Valuation you can defend

Stock is valued at what each unit actually cost to get onto the shelf, including landed cost recorded against the purchase. That is the same cost used when the unit sells, which is why profit reporting in EncoderPOS does not shift when supplier prices change.

Inventory — common questions

Does stock update in real time across branches?

Yes. Each branch holds its own stock and every sale, purchase, return or transfer posts immediately, with the consolidated position visible to the owner.

Can EncoderPOS track batches and expiry dates?

Yes. Products can carry batch numbers and expiry dates, which is what pharmacies and grocery use to sell the oldest stock first and catch what is about to expire.

Can I import my existing product list and opening stock?

Yes. Products, categories, suppliers and opening stock import from a spreadsheet during setup, and our team helps map the columns.
