We have mentioned many times that business process automation, including warehouse accounting, significantly simplifies the lives of entrepreneurs.

However, how to automate your business correctly and how to choose a service that suits you, we will discuss today.

Automated Warehouse Accounting: Why Do You Need It?

At first glance, keeping records may not seem so difficult, and you can do it on your own: you just need to know how many goods you have, how much you bought it for, and how much you sell it for. Many still manage these matters in Google Sheets or a special notebook. Employees simply maintain the file, updating it as new events occur.

However, even with a small number of goods, and even with a small team, difficulties may arise. After all, new products appear, new employees are hired, different warehouses are added, and new stores or sales points open. These small details can add a lot of confusion and complicate the accounting process.

As your business grows, accounting will become even more complex.

Filling out invoices and inventorying goods will take more and more time, and also add more problems. To avoid ruining your business, it’s worth transitioning to automation for all processes.

This will make life easier for you and your employees, and also allow you to:

● Create detailed records of goods;

● Reserve goods;

● Process deliveries and returns of goods;

● Print price tags and receipts;

● Add variant products;

● Filter products;

● Add several different warehouses;

● Provide access to employees;

● Process purchases and deliveries;

● Generate reports;

● Manage workflow from a mobile app.

Automating warehouse accounting allows you to organize inventory without wasting extra time and effort. Thanks to specialized software, all processes can be carried out in a few minutes.

Moreover, all employees will work in the same information field, and you will always have access to the necessary data.

All that remains is to find the optimal service. We will talk about this further.

Warehouse Accounting Software: Which One to Choose?

Today, there is a wide range of various services available on the software market that can help improve the operation of a company.

To choose software that is right for you, you need to decide what you want to focus on: automating specific processes or complete business automation.

Earlier, we compared various CRM systems, which you can learn about here:

● HugeProfit or Finmap: What to Choose for Ukrainian Entrepreneurs ( https://h-profit.com/blog/en/hugeprofit-or-finmap-what-to-choose-for-a-ukrainian-entrepreneur/ )

● Made in Ukraine: Compilation of SAAS Services for Business ( https://h-profit.com/blog/en/made-in-ukraine-a-selection-of-saas-services-for-business-2/ )

Analyze which aspects of your business you would like to improve or change. Then, compile a list of technical and functional requirements, as well as employees who will need access. After all, the software can be cloud-based or boxed, so you need to understand where the data will be stored.

For example, by using cloud software, you won’t need to buy additional expensive equipment or hire programmers, as the hoster’s team will take care of updates and bug fixes, not you. And the tariff plan often depends on the number of users.

When choosing a service, you can also rely on the following criteria:

● Simple and clear interface;

● Functionality:

  • Import and export functions;
  • Goods write-off, logistics, and inventory;
  • Ability to filter goods;
  • Printing labels and barcodes;
  • Creating purchases;
  • Client database;
  • Access rights separation for employees;
  • Returns and delivery processing;
  • Creating reports and analytics.

● Integrations with various services: banks, marketplaces, mails, etc;

● Regular updates;

● Quality customer support.
