Small and medium sized businesses that use Xero have already discovered the benefits of using cloud software to make their lives easier. Now they can automate their inventory planning and demand forecasting with a Xero integration to save up to 40% in working capital.
Users of StockTrim report on average 50% reduction in stock out situations and 75% time saving in administration and planning around purchasing. In addition, they see significant reduction in overstocking that ties up warehouse space and a decrease in obsolete and expired stock.
An example of a Xero user getting amazing benefits from StockTrim is Ivor Peksa from Scientific Sales;
“I have three small web stores and manage my stock levels with a variety of SaaS tools and a monster Excel for the planning. None of the tools I used were particularly good and in particular the planning in Excel was poor. I could totally see the need for a smart SaaS to do this, and so tried StockTrim.
As it happens, I had to order a couple of containers of weather stations this week for my NZ and UK stocks. These have long lead times and MOQs, and several years of sales data. This was a great opportunity to compare and contrast my existing spreadsheet vs StockTrim.
I am very pleased to say that the SKU I was looking at corresponded well. Moreover, another important SKU, with a high MOQ was flagged as needing restocking. This exposed an error and flaw in my spreadsheet and has potentially saved me running out of stock at Christmas!
This is fabulous validation of the concept. It works on my little business adding another positive CX data point. I’m very excited! Have now subscribed!”
