Looking for inventory software suggestions

by Quincy77 May 7, 2008 7:43AM PDT

Hello,
I am looking for a small business inventory software that is simple to use. This is for a small service business that has retail products for sale in the shop.
All we need is to be able to list the items on the shelf at year end inventory, add to the items as we receive new shipments, and be able to input sales so the items are subtracted from inventory as they are sold. Also, if possible, to input the cost of the item as we enter each new shipment because the wholesale costs of the items change several times a year.
We have downloaded several different programs and they seem cumbersome and generate 'way' too much information about 'invoices' 'customers' 'purchase orders' 'tax levels' etc.
I think we need something more simple than that.
Could anyone suggest a software that may fit our basic needs?
thanks

Any accounting system with a POS usually does this.

Quickbooks may work for you

I know its not specifically an inventory application, but Quickbooks can do all that you have stated. In addition it can take care of all your business accounting needs as well.

Chronos eStockCard is worth to try
by ivanbeh Jul 30, 2008 12:03AM PDT

Hello Quincy,

I recommend you to try Chronos eStockCard Free Edition. Currently my company is using the Free Edition (limit to 100 item codes) as it still can support my current operation because I?m doing small business only but later when I hit 100 item codes I might upgrade it to Standard Edition. eStockCard has two main operations IN and OUT, IN is for you to record the items received and OUT is for item retrieval. At ?IN? operation, you can add in extra info such as the cost for each batch of item received and you can track the cost from the report. In addition, you can create Sales Order, print DO and Invoice. Just give it a try Wink

Same case as you..
by oye29 Apr 27, 2009 12:40PM PDT

Q,

I am in the same position as you. I too am looking for inventory management software. Only a few people mentioned specifics about their software but others just provided links. Would you please mention which one you ended up selecting?

So far, i've seen systems that cost around ~$1500/- with my limited research. Here's wishing you the best and hoping to hear from you in the forums.
