Retail Pro V8

Multi-Store Distribution & Transfers

Distribution of Goods

When distributions or transfers are ordered at the main office, Retail Pro will automatically inform all the sending and receiving stores as a routine part of the polling process each day. Actual transfers are securely managed using Out slips and In slips, which can be generated at store level by the system. Slips can also be quickly made on the fly with a bar code scanner at any site. This procedure maintains a current record of merchandise In Transit - including when it left, by whom it was consigned, and by what means of transport. Any discrepancy between quantities sent and received is automatically brought to the attention of the retailer. Most important, goods can be decisively and continuously expedited to the locations where they will generate the greatest profit in the shortest period of time. By comparing "Days of Supply" in several stores for an item or group of items, the system can recommend those transfers, which will optimise sales.
