Stock management in Addis Ababa: the top 5 features to look for
Stock is cash sitting on a shelf. For importers and wholesalers in Merkato, supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés and restaurants, and service companies in Addis Ababa, a good stock system shows what you have in each store, stops quiet losses and tells you what to reorder. These are the five features that matter most, and how CheckThis provides them.
The top 5
- Every store and shop separatelyEach location keeps its own stock, and transfers are recorded when the goods leave and when they arrive.
- Scanning with the phone cameraLook items up, receive deliveries and count shelves by pointing an Android phone at the barcode: no scanner to buy.
- Changes need a second personAdjustments for damage, loss or count differences go to someone else for approval; posted documents are reversed, never edited.
- A reorder list that turns into purchasingItems at or below their reorder level are listed, and one click raises a purchase request for the supplier.
- Batches, expiry and serial numbersMedicines and food are tracked by batch and expiry, the oldest leaves first, and phones and electronics by serial number.
In Addis Ababa
Merkato traders move goods between a store, the stall and customers across the city. Each location keeps its own stock, transfers are recorded both ways, and counting by phone camera shows the gaps the same day.
