POS, inventory and logistics workflow integration

We tie the group's point-of-sale systems, inventory records and logistics workflows into one stock position. That covers sales posting from each till, stock movements between sites, replenishment triggers, transfers, and the hand-off to carriers and couriers.

We write a workflow design the whole group approves and run the integration build to it.

• A workflow map of sale, count, transfer, replenishment and delivery, with owners at each step.
• A stock-movement code list that every system uses in the same way.
• Replenishment rules by outlet and product group, written and then configured.
• An interface specification for each till and inventory system.
• A cut-over plan by outlet, with a stock count at the switch.
• Exception reports for negative stock, unposted transfers and long-held items.

• Stock counts match the shelf more closely, and stock accuracy is measured at each outlet's last count.
• Fast lines stay on the shelf.
• Write-offs fall as replenishment follows sales, and write-off value is tracked as a share of sales.
• A sale shows in the stock position sooner, measured as time from sale to visible stock movement.
• Transfers are posted the day they dispatch.

If tills, stores and logistics hold separate stock numbers, replenishment follows habit rather than sales. Fast lines run out in one outlet while slow ones age in another, and write-offs rise without any report showing where the stock went.

• Outlets order stock by calling the warehouse.
• Stock counts differ between the till system and the physical shelf by more than you can explain.
• Transfers between sites are recorded on paper and keyed in later.
• Replenishment is set once a season and not revised.
• Your delivery orders and in-store sales draw on different stock records.

Grocery, convenience and specialty retailers, restaurant groups with central kitchens, and distributors who run several outlets and a central store, and have outgrown daily stock reports sent by message.

Qasim Abbas has spent more than 16 years inside Gulf family-based and venture-backed groups, where stock is cash waiting on a shelf. We set your inventory and logistics workflows to show what each movement does to margin and cash.

We work with the tills and inventory tools you already run, and with the warehouse and carrier systems that receive their stock movements. See how fees work.

Which outlets should go first?

Two that differ in volume and format. Rules proven in both set the pattern for the other outlets.

Does the till system need to be replaced?

Keep the till system you run. We connect it to the stock position, and our technology assessments for boards score any till the board wants to change.

How is stock accuracy proved?

By a physical count at cut-over and a repeat count after the first month, compared with the system numbers by outlet.

Name your outlets and the systems on their tills. We pick the two outlets that should lead and show what the stock position looks like today.
