In this course we also share with you our DENTAL STOCK MANAGER we designed in Excel. The beauty is that it automates many features and provides a systematic way to manage stock. It offers the following features:
- Create a comprehensive stock list with exact units and type of packaging it comes in
- Will allow you to calculate the right amount that needs to be ordered based on history thereby reducing wastage and not face shortages either
- Will be able to get 3 or more quotes from supplier then automatically pick the best supplier
- When stock reorder is raised, it gives a warning if it has gone over budget – overheads are kept under control
- Stock reordering is automated after stock take is done and goes straight into an email to supplier
- Quotes for products required are requested and the best price is selected – to keep prices down
- Stock manager allows reports to be generated at fixed intervals showing main suppliers and what was spent with each, whether stock order exceeded budgets, wastage, and if ad hoc orders had to be done
If you need to modify or add modules to this basic package after purchase, please contact us for your needs and we can give you a quote.
