A truly professional approach
Accurate, effective stock management is one of the most important aspects of running any licensed premises. For, unless gross profit margins are under strict control, net profits could be seriously affected, and with margins becoming tighter and competition increasing daily, poor stock management can not only affect a company's profits, but can actually put the company out of business.
 
A service that can pay for itself
Whether you are an incoming owner, or have been in the trade for some time, our service is indispensable. For experience tells us that only an objective assessment can uncover the true levels of stock leakage and pilferage. Which is precisely why so many licensed businesses rely upon the independent expertise of specialist stocktakers such as Stock Management Systems Scotland (SMS). It is a fact that many of our clients can quickly save the cost of our services in terms of reduced loss or wastage. Thereafter, the reduction in losses make a positive contribution to future bottom line profits. Many of our clients find that the only sure way to avoid erosion of profit is to employ strict, accurate and regular professional monthly food and beverage stocktaking. This is equally true of the large breweries, hotel groups and the independent trader.
 
We do not just take stock
There is a lot more to stocktaking then just counting bottles. It is important to interpret the results correctly. Stock Management Systems provides essential management information which give you a precise picture of all aspects of your business. We will give you accurate detailed information about each stock item, such as cost price, selling prices, opening and closing stock, purchases and sales for each stock period; the value of sales at selling and cost prices; gross profit percentage achieved a theoretical gross profit achievable; and a projected number of days stockholding. Over a period of just a few stocks you will be able to pinpoint any seasonal or other trends in your business's trading patterns which may help you to maximise your turnover and profitability.
 
Buying a licensed business
Attempting to value the stock with a vendor is seldom easy, and always time consuming. There are also many possible areas for disagreement. By calling on Stock Management Systems, it is possible to achieve an accurate and detailed assessment of the precise stock levels and value on the day of the take-over, something which can only be achieved amicably through objective evaluation. Thereafter, regular professional stocktaking by SMS will enable you to ensure you control your profits.
