To succeed with GelatoConnect procurement, it is essential to train your team to keep the system updated with all inventory changes. This ensures accurate stock tracking and optimal replenishment operations.
Step-by-step guide
Receiving Orders: Train warehouse staff to log received orders in the system as soon as they arrive. This involves associating the received inventory (e.g., pallets, boxes) with the corresponding purchase order, ensuring that stock quantities are automatically updated.
Inventory Transfers: When moving stock between different locations (e.g., storage to production), it's important to create and log these transfers in the system. This can be done via the desktop platform, mobile app, or by scanning barcodes if you have the system enabled.
Consuming Stock in Production: Ensure that when items are moved from storage for production use, this is marked as a transfer to a production zone. The system will automatically reduce the stock level and update quantities in real-time, triggering replenishment alerts as necessary.
By keeping the system updated across these processes, you will ensure accurate stock levels, timely replenishment, and effective inventory management.
Best Practices for Ongoing Updates:
Receiving Inventory: Always log inventory as soon as it's received, marking the corresponding purchase order as complete to update stock counts.
Tracking Transfers: Use the system’s transfer feature whenever moving stock between storage and production areas, ensuring that inventory levels are adjusted accordingly.
Monthly Stock Takes: Regular stock audits are crucial for verifying that physical quantities match the system’s records. Ensure your team performs these counts monthly, logging any discrepancies or adjustments to keep records accurate.
