Inventory management

Sterling Store Engagement provides various inventory management capabilities for your store.

Receive inventory
Shipments that arrive from vendors or from other stores or warehouses for inventory replenishment or for fulfilling sales orders, can be received at a store.
Putaway inventory
After receiving shipments, you must move the inventory from the receiving location to an appropriate location for future store operations. This process is called putaway.
Move inventory
A move request is used to record movement of inventory from one location to another within a store.
Cycle count
Cycle count is the periodic counting of inventory to ensure the accuracy of inventory quantities in a store, without interrupting the regular store operations. Accurate system on-hand quantities are essential for managing supply and demand, maintaining high service levels, and planning production.
Lookup and adjust inventory
You can look up inventory to find out the real-time availability of a product for sale in a store. Inventory details can help monitor products that are out-of-stock and avoid selling them.
Transfer inventory
A store associate can transfer inventory from one store to another store or a distribution center to replenish inventory, return defective products, and so on.
Physical count
Counting physical inventory in a store is an essential part of keeping inventory records accurate and current. For an outstanding customer service and optimum inventory management, it is important to have visibility into accurate and up-to-date inventory information.
Move products in bulk
Moving products in bulk between locations within a store is often an essential requirement. To reduce operational costs and increase throughput, you can move bulk of products from one location to another location.
