What does it do and how will I benefit?

Typhoon Stock Control is a configurable software package that allows you to manage your stock efficiently, bringing the following benefits:

• Know exactly what is in stock
• Avoid running out of stock
• Prevent over stocking
• Know what is selling and when
• Audit Trail – who did what and when

This will help you to minimise the cost of holding stock, whilst avoiding the situation of losing sales

PC Software

The PC software can be used on PC’s, Laptops and Tablets. It allows users to:

• Book Items In
• Book Items Out
• Adjust Stock Levels
• View Reports

Some organisations want to record a bit more than just that something is booked in or out. The software can be configured to handle things such as:

• Record which customer goods are booked out to
• Record which customer goods are booked out to
• Allow you to record multiple reasons for items being booked out. e.g. “Sale”, “Transfer to HQ” etc.
• Cater for multiple reasons why    goods are booked in e.g. “New Goods, ”Transfer from HQ”, “Return” etc.
• Where you use multiple reasons for booking in or out the reports will show each option separately as well as the totals.

Reports

Any report can be exported to a Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel or Rich Text file, which enables you to Email reports or to use the data for other applications.

In addition search, print and magnify facilities are provided:

• What is in Stock
• Low Stock
• Stock Valuation
• Adjustments
• Booked In
• Booked Out
• Sales by Customer
• Audit Trail
• VAT

When running reports you can specify dates. So for example you can look at sales between 1st Jan2005 and 31st March 2006.

Single and Multi User

The software can handle up to 100 users at the same time. Each user is given a User Name and Password and you can set up which functions and reports they have access to. That way each person only sees the options they need, making the software easier to use and more secure.

User Defined Fields

In case you want to record information that is special to your organisation, we have provided two user defined fields for Products, Booking In and Booking Out. So if you wanted to record who checked an order or the cu

Stock Watch

Managers who like to have their fingers on the pulse of their business will love Stock Watch.

This is a real time reporting system that provides you with key information that is updated every 10 seconds, so you can see things as they happen:

• Items and Value Booked Out
• Items and Value Booked In
• Current Stock Levels and Stock Valuation
• Low Stock Items

You may drill down further to follow a particular user or product category.

Easy to Use and Affordable

The software is very easy to use, even for staff that are not experienced computer users. Each user is set up so they only see the options they need for their job. This removes unnecessary options from the screen making it quicker and easier to use.

The software is priced based upon the number of users you have. That way it is affordable for both single user and fifty user organisations.

Stock Counts

With a good stock control system in place, the number of stock counts you need to do should go down dramatically. Even so occasionally items might be misplaced or go missing.

The mobile computer software allows one or multiple people to count stock and feed the information back into a PC. The data is then analysed and any possible mistakes are highlighted to you (product counted more than once, item not counted) allowing you to make changes before updating the stock levels.

Mobile Computer Software

In many environments you may want to book items in and out, away from the nearest PC. Therefore we included mobile computer software that enables you to book items in and out anywhere and feed the data into a PC later on (or immediately if using a Wireless LAN). The PC will update the system as soon as it receives the data.

Barcode scanning is supported on most units with a keyboard wedge based barcode reader. Just as in the PC software, you can book items in and out without a barcode scanner, simply by selecting the item from a table. Today, there is a wide range of mobile computers. There are low cost non rugged devices such as the Ipaq as well as highly rugged units. You can even a barcode scanning module to most standard PDA’s.

Use of Barcodes

If you do not have barcodes, it is not a problem as the software can be used without them.

No Barcodes - you can select a product from a table and search for it by its product code, description, supplier or category.

Products with Barcodes – these can be quickly scanned into and out of stock using a low cost barcode reader.

Barcode Printing – The inbuilt barcode printing function allows you to print barcodes for products that don’t have them. You can enter your own barcode number for a product. When you are booking the item in, you click on the print barcode button, enter the quantity of labels, print them and stick them onto the items. This then enables you to book them in and out very quickly, by just scanning the barcode.

The software will print a barcode on most printers, including Laser and Inkjet printers. In mot cases it is more convenient and cost effective to use a specialist barcode label printer. These are now very low in cost.
