Milton Keynes is a short drive from our Olney office. ## Details - **Solution:** Stock Control Software - **Group:** Inventory & supply - **Platform:** CubeERP (https://cubeerp.co.uk/platform) - **Location:** Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire - **Distance from our Olney office:** 8 miles - a short drive from our Olney office - **Postcode districts:** MK1, MK2, MK3, MK4, MK5, MK6, MK7, MK8, MK9, MK10, MK11, MK12, MK13, MK14, MK15, MK16, MK17 - **Also known as:** Inventory management software, Stock management system, Inventory control software, Stock tracking software, Warehouse stock software ## Coverage We cover Milton Keynes and the surrounding area, including Central Milton Keynes, Bletchley, Wolverton, Stony Stratford and Newport Pagnell, across the MK1, MK2, MK3 and MK4 postcode districts.

Every transcription you remove is an error you no longer have to find later. - **Free, allocated and on order:** Three numbers that matter, all visible at the point of promise, so nobody sells stock that is already spoken for by somebody else’s order. - **Perpetual counting:** Cycle counts scheduled by value and movement, with variance analysis by location and reason - so accuracy is maintained continuously rather than restored once a year. - **Valuation you can explain:** FIFO, average or standard costing, landed costs including freight and duty, and a stock valuation that reconciles to the ledger without a spreadsheet in the middle. - **Slow, dead and excess:** Ageing analysis, obsolescence flags and excess-stock reporting, so working capital tied up in things nobody has ordered for two years becomes visible. ## Real-world use cases ### Stock accuracy in the seventies **Scenario:** A distributor counted annually and ran at roughly 78% location accuracy. Pickers routinely searched for stock the system said was there, and the annual count produced a write-off nobody could explain. **Outcome:** Scanning and cycle counting brought accuracy above 99%. Picking time fell, the annual shutdown count was dropped entirely, and the write-off became a small, explained adjustment. ### Two warehouses, one number **Scenario:** A business with two sites held one aggregate stock figure. Orders were promised on total availability and then discovered to need an inter-site transfer that added three days. **Outcome:** Stock is now held per location with transfer lead times understood. Availability at the point of promise is location-aware, and transfers are planned rather than reactive. ### Working capital in the back corner **Scenario:** A manufacturer knew its total stock value and nothing about its shape. Roughly a fifth of the value had not moved in over two years and was being counted, insured and stored regardless. **Outcome:** Ageing and movement analysis identified the dead stock. Some was sold at a discount, some was written off and scrapped, and the reorder rules that created it were corrected. ## Figures - **99%+** Typical accuracy once scanning is in - **3** Numbers: free, allocated, on order - **Per bin** Location detail, not per warehouse ## Frequently asked questions **Do we need special hardware?** Rugged Android scanners are the sensible choice for a busy warehouse, and we will specify them. A phone camera works for lower volumes, and label printers are standard Zebra-compatible units rather than anything proprietary. **Can we still do an annual stock take?** You can, and the system supports full counts with count sheets, blind counting and variance approval. Most customers move to perpetual counting once accuracy is high, because the annual shutdown stops being worth the disruption. **How does it handle batch and serial numbers?** Both, at item level, with full genealogy from goods-in through production to despatch. Expiry dates, certificates and test results are held against the batch, and FEFO picking is supported where shelf life matters. **Does stock value reconcile to our accounts?** Yes. Stock movements post to the nominal ledger via the accounting integration, so the balance sheet figure matches the warehouse figure without a reconciliation spreadsheet standing between them. **Can we manage consignment or customer-owned stock?** Yes - consignment stock at customer sites, customer free-issue material and supplier-owned stock on your premises are all tracked separately from your own inventory and valued correctly. ## Related solutions - **Warehouse Management Software** - Directed put-away, wave and batch picking, packing, despatch and carrier integration - run from scanners on the warehouse floor. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/warehouse-management-software/buckinghamshire/milton-keynes - **Barcode & Traceability Software** - Batch and serial traceability from goods-in to despatch, with certificates attached and a recall answered in minutes. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/barcode-traceability-software/buckinghamshire/milton-keynes - **Purchase Order Software** - Requisitions, approval limits, purchase orders raised from real demand, goods-in booking and three-way matching. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/purchase-order-software/buckinghamshire/milton-keynes - **ERP Software** - One system for quotes, orders, stock, production, purchasing and invoicing - built in the UK for growing businesses. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/erp-software/buckinghamshire/milton-keynes ## Elsewhere in Buckinghamshire See https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/stock-control-software/buckinghamshire for stock control software across Buckinghamshire. ## Contact - **Product:** CubeERP - **Trading name of:** Cube Systems Limited (company number 17220899, ICO registration number ZC216972) - **Email:** hello@cubeerp.co.uk - **Sales:** sales@cubeerp.co.uk - **Support:** support@cubeerp.co.uk - **Telephone:** 01234 672 617 (+441234672617) - **Address:** Unit 11, Olney Business Park, Osier Way, Olney, Buckinghamshire, MK46 5FP - **Opening hours:** Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm - **Part of:** Crushed Ice Group (https://crushedicegroup.co.uk)
