INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventory that does more than count stock
Most systems tell you what you have.
SME Tech tells you what it's costing you AND what it's making you.
From pricing strategy to stock movement, Inventory is designed to protect margins and keep operations flowing.
The Problem
Stock shoudn't be a guessing game
For many businesses, inventory is where money quetly leaks:
- Prices drift as costs change
- Discounts eat into margins
- Stock runs out mid-sale or job
- Those small cost-to-company adds up
- No one knows where items actually went
Before you know it, you're busy - but not profitable
