Cosmetics & Personal Care: barcode sales and POS, stock and warehouse, customer accounts and e-Invoice.
Challenges
- Cosmetics carry an expiry date that nobody tracks, so out-of-date product stays on the shelf.
- Tester and sample stock is never sold yet gets used up, and it is recorded nowhere.
- Brand consignment goods get mixed up with our own stock.
- In set and promotional sales the stock of the items inside is not deducted separately.
