Every style multiplies into dozens of stock lines
Size crossed with colour turns one product into a matrix. Managing that as separate products makes reordering a spreadsheet exercise.
Fashion retail
POS Software for Fashion and Apparel Retail
Apparel stock is a grid, not a list. One style, eight sizes, four colours — thirty-two things to count, and the one that sells out is never the one you over-ordered.
What makes fashion retail different
Sizes strand themselves at the wrong branch
One outlet has three of a size nobody there wants; another has been out for a fortnight. The stock exists — it is just in the wrong place.
Season-end markdowns need to be costed
Discounting is normal in apparel. What matters is knowing what margin is left after it, per line, at the end of the season.
How EncoderPOS handles it
Size and colour as variations
One style holds its full matrix of variations, each with a barcode and stock figure, so reordering reads as a grid rather than a list.
Explore EncoderPOS inventoryPer-branch stock and transfers
See where a size actually is and move it to the outlet that can sell it, as a recorded transfer.
Explore EncoderPOS multi-branchDiscounts that still show real margin
Line and invoice discounts are recorded against the sale, and profit reporting nets them against the cost carried by each unit.

Can EncoderPOS handle a size and colour matrix?
Yes. Variations sit on a single style record, each with its own barcode and stock level.
