Every location on one record
Predictiv records stock by organisation, warehouse and bin, and every place stock can be is a location: a store, a depot, a van on its route, even a fuel tank. Predictiv posts receipts, transfers, sales, production and consumption against the same stock record, so the balance you see is the balance finance posts.
Seeing the whole estate
Head office sees stock by organisation, warehouse and bin across every store, depot and vehicle, while each branch sees its own. The Predictiv Assistant answers about a warehouse only for users whose roles let them see it, so it never shows more about stock than the screen would. During a count, head office follows progress by branch through the day and can see which lines still need a recount or a verifier.
Fuel held in a tank is stock like any other product. Predictiv posts consumption for every fuel issue, and the tank balance is a stock balance, so you count, value and reconcile fuel in the same way as everything else you hold.
Receiving and moving stock
You receive goods against the purchase order, so Predictiv checks the receipt against what was ordered and posts the stock at the right cost. Predictiv records both sides of every transfer between warehouses, stores and vans, so stock is never in two places or in none. It records the person, the time and the document behind every movement, which is what makes a later count explainable.
Counting while you trade
You no longer close the doors for year-end and cycle counts. Staff count on ordinary Android phones, on the shop floor, while sales continue.
Counts are blind. Lines within tolerance are accepted as counted. Lines outside tolerance are recounted, which a different person must do, and a third person verifies. No count entry can be edited after it is made.
Every variance explained
Each difference between the count and the book is given a reason chosen from your own list. Predictiv posts the adjustment to stock and to the ledger, and you can trace each posted line back to the count entries behind it. Auditors can follow any adjustment from the ledger to the person, time and location of the count.
Counting smarter between full counts
Predictiv schedules cycle counts of the products most at risk at each location. You take those counts with the same controls as a full count, so you find problems in weeks instead of at year-end.
Controls that hold on every path
Negative stock prevention can be switched on per warehouse. Once on, Predictiv blocks any movement that would take a product below zero, whether it comes from a sale, a transfer, a production run or an import.
Connected to the rest of the business
You receive purchases into stock, sell from it at the till and from the van, consume and produce it in manufacturing, and issue spare parts from it for maintenance. Predictiv costs and posts each of those movements on the same record, with no interface to reconcile at month-end.
