The constant balancing act of maintaining excellent customer service, whilst minimising stock levels, warehousing space and the associated financial investment is solved by the implementation of the SIRONA stock control module.

A key element in the total integrated SIRONA distribution system, the stock control module provides the solution by addressing the following key issues:

• Stockholding
  
• Stocktaking
  
• Stock valuation
  
• Management Information

This SIRONA software module allows stock to be categorised in a number of different ways, whilst being located in any combination of warehouses and bins.

Comprehensive product descriptions are held by the system including multiple purchase cost and selling prices, movement history, supplier details, alternatives, bill of material information and stock levels (on-order, free, physical, allocated, back-order, reorder levels).

SIRONA holds a standard and average cost price allowing stock valuations by either of these methods at any time.

Effective and efficient stock control relies upon the ability of senior managers to access up to date, accurate concise information. The SIRONA system provides the user with precisely that.

There are a number of standard enquiries and reports available both at warehouse and company level. All reports are designed to maximise the control the user exerts upon the stock levels within the warehouse(s) and hence the financial implications on the business.

Speed, accuracy and ease of use are the three basic criteria around which all SIRONA software modules are designed and written.
