How Do You Inventory A Craft Store?
A strong inventory management system not only helps you value your craft store, it also reduces employee theft. The amount of inventory management you need depends on the size of your store and the method you use to store inventory. For a small craft store, taking inventory once a year may be sufficient to control your inventory. Decide what method you want to use for inventory management. You can buy inventory software, hire an independent contractor or perform your own inventory count. Install inventory software and machines. Some craft stores implement a barcode system for up-to-date inventory counts. The receiving manager or worker scans in all the new arrivals and the cash register deducts sales from the total inventory. Hire a professional inventory company to conduct an inventory. Professional companies work with a variety of budgets and can tailor a plan to fit your business needs. If all your products have barcodes, it speeds up the time it takes to inventory your craft store.
