| Controlling inventory is Carmen DePasquale's mission in life. As a businessman who is both a Distributor and spa/salon owner he understands the complexity of buying and selling products in a client centric spa and salon.
VS&S meets the challenge for the spa and salon and integrates with distributors. A perfect match
VS&S makes life easier for Carmen because it's easy for his staff to use, so he can maintain a Just In Time inventory system; not too much on the shelf and not too little.
VS&S provides the inventory manager with an automatic order based upon minimum/maximum or reorder points and reorder quantities. Combined with sell through and holiday fluctuation reports, he is able to manage a just-in- time inventory. Why take up shelf space with slow moving products? Think of the ROI.
For spas and salons with larger product inventories, follow Carmen's lead and implement cyclical counts. Rather than closing the spa/salon for a day and physically counting, Depasquale uses an intelligent scanner to spot count 10 lines a month and only conducts a physical once a year. Using the scanner, a file is produced that VS&S can pick up and update the inventory. CPAs love it because accurate information is linked with accounting packages.
Bar coding is a standard for manufacturers and scanning is the most accurate. Scan your box tops at the end of the day and track your professional product in a separate VS&S inventory. Transferring product from the retail shelf to the stations is a snap.
VS&S Inventory is a tracking tool. It's up to you to make it your analytical tool. Want to know more? Read article Guide to Inventory Accuracy.
