Hi all,
Sorry if this is boring everyone. I spoke a while back about a stock control solution I was designing for our plumbing business which should help keep track of stock levels etc as our business grows further. I am going to be aiming it at small businesses like mine which hold stock in more than one location and want to cut down on the admin that goes with a business with more than one van, namely: -
1.) Communication regarding what materials have been used on a small job to charge the customer properly.
2.) Ordering across multiple vans at once to ensure stock levels are kept to the minimum necessary and to generate the best buying power the business can.
3.) Generation of purchase orders in a timely fashion to keep the business running effectively.
Basically we are at the stage where the administrator interface (the website) is fully functional from a stock control perspective. I am looking for some users on here who might be willing to beta test the software for me, try and find bugs and also comment on how intuitive and easy to use the software is. In particular I am interested in any constructive criticism so we can make it better.
What can I offer in return? One beta tester will be chosen at random to get a free lifetime subscription to the software when we launch it.
The idea is that staff will be able to quickly scan stock in and out of vans on jobs so that it can be charged to customers in real time. They would do this using any modern phone with an auto-focus camera. I have tried to design it to be as quick and simple to use as possible as a system that is slow and hard to pick up will not get used!!
If anyone is interested in helping me to beta test this please PM me and I will send login details and a link to the software.
Many thanks in advance for any help
