WAREHOUSE SYSTEMS

Didn't find your answer?

Hi,

Does anyone know of any warehouse control systems which can handle sending out 200-300 invoices a day as well as a large product list of 5000-6000 items, as we handle different clothing sizes as well as second hand items. We currently use SAGE as an accounting system. Thanks.

Have you thought about Pearl?

Hi

Pearl (www.thisispearl.com) is from the SaaS family and is a fully integrated accounting and stock management application.

Stock items can be created and updated via Excel (.xls) uploads. It also handles mutli-warehouses, bar code scanning, product bundles.

Are you selling goods via a website? If so, it could be linked directly to your Pearl system giving your customers live stock levels.

Regards

Look for the people, not the software

It sounds like you deal in clothing; if so,  each stock item has variants on style-size-colour and you will require a specialist stock control package.

Whenever you want to automate an operational part of the business, the key thing is to find a reseller who understands your business.   Forget about the software.   Find someone who seems familiar with the way you work, then accept the software they recommend.

Since the stock control system will integrate with the accounts, their system may not work with Sage and you will have to change to whatever accounts package they link to.

I'm afraid I haven't done a clothing implementation for a long time so I don't know the main suppliers.  But they will advertise in your trade magazines.

Have you looked at the Sage Add-Ons/Additions Directory?

I'm not sure how far you have got with this project but I would recommend you check out the Sage Add-ons (additions) catalogue which lists Sage recommended developers. You can search by industry and define the system you are looking for.

http://www.sage.co.uk/software_and_services/sage_add-ons.aspx

The version of Sage you are working with will also have an impact on the warehouse system you end up with (Sage 200 functionality being more detailed and having greater options than Sage 50).

I'm assuming your second hand ranges are listed/sold by item, rather than weight as this may be a consideration with your warehousing system.

Ideally you should consider whether the system is stand alone or fully integrated into Sage (quicker reporting, updating of stock and less potential for human error when manually data inputting).

Datalinx Computer Systems - www.datalinx.co.uk  may be of interest as Sage based Warehouse and Inventory control are the focus of their business.
