Stock control
Stock that keeps its own count
Owwel tracks stock as dated batches, each with its own cost and expiry date, and sells the oldest batch first. Every sale, purchase, transfer and write-off is a movement in a ledger, so the count stays accurate on its own, low stock is flagged before the shelf empties, and profit uses the real cost of what was sold.
How it works
Batches with a cost and a date
Each delivery becomes a batch with its own cost and expiry. Sales take the oldest first, and anything close to its date is flagged.
A ledger for every unit
Purchases, sales, returns, transfers, expiry, damage, theft, samples and internal use are all recorded movements, so any count can be explained.
Warned before you run out
Set a low stock level per product and see what to reorder while there is still time.
Units as you sell them
Pieces, kilos, litres, metres, rolls, boxes, packs or bottles, with fractions where the trade needs them.
Real cost in every profit figure
Because each sale draws on real batches, the cost of goods sold, and the profit, use what that stock actually cost.
Questions about stock control
Does Owwel use FIFO?
Yes. Stock is sold oldest batch first, and the cost of goods sold uses the cost of the batches actually consumed.
Can I track expiry dates?
Yes. Each batch has its own expiry date, and anything expiring soon is flagged so it can be sold or written off with a reason.
Can staff see cost prices?
Only the owner and staff given that permission see cost prices and profit. Others manage stock without them.
