Your outside sales people will LOVE this "Stock Request" form!
Eh, maybe not so much. We know a few outside sales people who are not fans of paperwork.
But if you are responsible for inventory management, and you find it hard to say "NO" to an outside sales person's casual request that you put something into stock even though you have never sold it before, then YOU may love this form, and the simple process that goes with it.

Featured Feature: BARGAIN HUNT
Replenish your inventory with stock purchased at below distributor standard cost. It's easy, with
BARGAIN HUNT. Upload a "shopping list" of your most active items, along with a threshold unit cost you're willing to pay. (For example, 20% below your cost when purchased from your primary supplier.)
BARGAIN HUNT will identify every instance in which another WarehouseTWO member is offering one or more items on your "shopping list" at or below your threshold cost. Upload a file; save money. Refer to our
BARGAIN HUNT
tutorial PDF for details. Or
register for our October 17th (1:00pm EDT) thirty-minute training webinar on how to perform a
BARGAIN HUNT.

Distribution "Quip" of the Month
Said by an inventory control or materials manager: "If sales thinks that we do not have enough inventory, and if senior management things that we have too much inventory, I must be doing my job well."
(Thanks to Brian Donaldson of
GCC, previously known as Gulf Controls Company.)

WarehouseTWO Tip of the Month
Refresh your inventory data at least once per month. The longer your data remains posted at WarehouseTWO, the lower your items will appear in
SEARCH results. Results are sorted by part number, then by posted date, from newest to oldest. More importantly, the older your posting dates, the less likely that you will be contacted by a potential buyer. Bonus tip: using the "Export Current Postings to File" functionality on the
POST INVENTORY screen, you can easily re-set your currently posted items' posted dates.
