Why OpSuite is the Smart Choice for Multi-Location Stock Control

Managing multiple retail or wholesale locations can be a significant challenge. From tracking stock across stores and warehouses to managing prices and promotions in different regions, the complexity multiplies as your business grows. Without the right systems in place, it’s easy to lose control of inventory, mismanage your stock and tie up cash in the wrong places.

That’s where OpSuite comes in – a powerful, cloud-hosted retail management solution designed to ensure you take control of your multi-location operation.

The Challenges of Multi-Location Retail and Wholesale

When you operate across more than one store, warehouse or online marketplace, several challenges come into play:

• How do you ensure the right stock is in the right place at the right time?
• How can staff at one location view what’s available elsewhere?
• How do you apply pricing and promotions differently in stores with different customer demographics?
• How can you manage stock transfers efficiently?

These issues can quickly lead to understocking, overstocking, lost sales and a poor customer experience – all of which could lead to failure.

How OpSuite Solves Multi-Location Challenges

OpSuite is designed to give you a complete view of your retail or wholesale operation from a single, centralised platform:

1. Real-Time Stock Visibility Across All Locations

With OpSuite, you’ll have a single source of information for your stock. Whether it’s on the shop floor, in the warehouse, on order or in transit, you can track it all in real time. From the Point of Sale, staff can:

• View stock availability across other locations
• Check whether items are on order or currently being transferred
• Access full customer profiles and sales histories from any site

This level of transparency makes it easy to serve customers, even if the item they want isn’t in front of them.

2. Smart Stock Control Features

Stock levels aren’t static so your system shouldn’t be either. OpSuite’s Inventory Transfer feature allows you to rebalance your stock intelligently based on preset minimum and maximum levels for each location. The system can even suggest optimal stock movements to maintain healthy levels where they’re most needed.

OpSuite’s Distribution module is an essential multi-location feature which allows you to manage purchasing to the warehouse and from there, distribute stock efficiently to shop locations. Items can be scanned in and out using handheld devices for fast, accurate updates to your inventory.

3. Flexible Stock Management Tools

With OpSuite, you can:

• Transfer, increase or reduce stock with just a few clicks
• Set different minimum reorder points and maximum thresholds per location or warehouse
• Schedule automatic purchase orders based on real-time stock needs, ready for approval
• Track every movement with a full audit trail of when stock has been scanned in or out of a location and by whom

You can even assign different roles and permissions for staff, allowing for structured control over who can create or authorise transfers and adjustments.

4. Location-Based Pricing and Promotions

Not all locations are alike. With OpSuite, you can:

• Manage pricing by location from OpSuite’s back-office
• Apply location-specific promotions and sale prices
• Tailor special offers to individual locations based on regional trends or stock levels

This level of flexibility lets you manage stock at each location more effectively, ensuring each location has exactly what it needs to optimise stock across your whole enterprise.

5. Accurate, Automated Warehouse Operations

Managing stock on a large scale is easy with OpSuite’s warehouse features:

• Use handheld devices to scan goods in and out
• Process goods received notes on the spot
• Maintain accurate stock records at all times
• Bulk buy and distribute intelligently based on business needs
• Ensure pin-point accuracy for locating items with OpSuite’s Multi-Bin module

These efficiencies save time and reduce human error, while keeping your records up to date across the entire business.
