Inventory Advisory

Getting inventory figures right

Dear Inventory Consulting – Getting inventory figures right!

Manufacturing, retail and distribution businesses are a key part of Australia's economy.  DEAR Inventory offers a comprehensive suite of warehouse management, inventory tracking and product manufacturing tools to help give you timely and relevant data relating to your operations.  At Business Lighthouse we partner with Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR Inventory Systems) to get all these figures right.

Incorrect inventory data and records can result in unhappy customers, lost sales, and wrong accounting records and reporting. Wrong data here can result in massive under or overs in gross profit margins.  This equals incorrect net profit, making accurate product profitably and sales analysis problematic at best.  Getting this data right is critical for successful financial management for any business that sells a product.

As a Cin7 Core partner, Business Lighthouse is uniquely positioned to help set up, migrate or integrate your Cin7 Inventory Management, and educate you and your team on how to best use it to meet your goals. good data equals better business decisions.

Contact Business Lighthouse today to discuss how we can help your business get its inventory management right.

Your questions about accounting and bookkeeping.

Why is Business Lighthouse different?

Business Lighthouse provides innovative solutions, with a client-centred approach, to help build local businesses into a force for social good. Yes there is a lot in that sentence. We understand that compliance is necessary however it is only one part of what we do to support businesses. We understand the importance of solid processes and systems to strengthen operations as well as the need to support your business strategy through comprehensive financial forecasting.

Why is Inventory so difficult to account for?

Organisations that carry inventory have more complex accounting requirements and need robust systems that account for stock on hand, stock in transit, prepaid stock, cost of goods sold, customer prepayments to name a few. They also need operational information such as production or procurement planning and warehouse solutions, And this is just for B2C (Business to Customer) business models. If you add Business to Business ie Wholesale- it can become even more complex). There are great systems that are available to small - medium sized businesses to handle the accounting and the processes. Learning to use them effectively and therefore access the right information is the key.
