Trading software. Trade warehouse

You can still take into account sales in a small kiosk using a notebook, but when the business expands, this method of accounting starts to generate many problems:

storing the remains of slow-moving goods;
lack of time to correct sales prices when the purchase price changes;
losses due to the complexity of control over the shelf life of products;
the emergence of incomprehensible shortages and surpluses during inventory;
untimely purchases of ending goods;
the need for the owner to be constantly at the outlet when receiving a new product;
lack of convenient analytics for daily sales;
the complexity of accounting for the movement of goods between structural units;
spending a lot of time on receiving goods during the day;
the need for manual entry of the names of the supplied goods.

More and more entrepreneurs, faced with such problems, decide to automate trade accounting. But how to choose the right warehouse program if you are faced with this for the first time? Most of the offers are paid and there is a risk of wasting money aimlessly by choosing a program that is not suitable for your business.

We decided to help entrepreneurs understand the specifics of popular ones by writing this article. It will highlight the following hot topics:

types of accounting programs, and how they differ from each other;
N important criteria when choosing a program;
functionality of popular Russian programs in accordance with the proposed criteria;
rating of warehouse accounting programs.

After reading the article, you can easily decide on the choice of a warehouse accounting program that will best suit the type of business and will help solve most of the tasks facing the manager.

We make a list of the most popular programs

There are dozens of programs on the Internet that allow entrepreneurs to keep records in retail, but most of them are crude or not very functional. So how do you determine the shortlist of the best apps?

The red line of the shortlist can be the maximum acceptable monthly subscription fee

We took it upon ourselves to compile such a list. The resulting rating consists of nine warehouse management programs:

"EKAM";
"MoySklad";
"Business.ru";
LiteBox;
SUBTOTAL;
Qasl;
CloudShop;
"Circuit";
"1C: Trade and Warehouse".

After making the list suitable programs an entrepreneur is faced with a difficult question: what criteria should be used to evaluate them? This is discussed in the next section.

Important features of warehouse management programs that you need to consider when choosing

Businessmen don't like to invest in a pig in a poke. But having bought a random accounting program for a warehouse, there is a risk that it:

inconvenient to learn;
does not support work with the equipment available in the warehouse;
prone to frequent freezing;
does not contain critical functionality;
does not have 24/7 support
reveals sufficient opportunities only at the maximum tariff.

Sifting out programs that are unsuitable for your business at the stage of their selection will help to avoid the listed problems. Let's see how the apps can differ.

The following are the criteria for choosing accounting programs that an entrepreneur needs to take into account:

List of supported operations. Someone just needs to know the income / expense, but for someone it is important to additionally price accounting and sales analytics.
The cost of implementation and maintenance. It makes no sense to delve into the overview of the inventory control program in detail if the entrepreneur is not ready to pay the minimum monthly payment.
Availability of additional optional modules (CMS, accounting, logistics). When planning a discount system, a CMS is a must.
Networking capabilities. For example, for warehouses distributed in space, only a cloud-based warehouse management program will be relevant.
Ease of learning. The new employee must master the basic features of the program in a few hours.
Stability of work. The program should not freeze and restart, because this can lead to the loss of the last entered data.
A fully functional demo version. It is much easier to choose a program by downloading its fully functional version and trying out the possibilities
An open API that allows you to modify the program according to the individual needs of the client.
Convenient interface. Switching between menus during work should take the staff a minimum of time.

LiteBox

LiteBox cloud service is designed for trading and financial accounting small business representatives. The functionality of the program is presented in six areas:

Trade management
Inventory control.
Analytical reports.
Procurement management.
Documentation.
Marketing tools.

In fact, the LiteBox accounting program has a typical functionality for its class: it allows you to trade and analyze sales.

The impossibility of adding arbitrary characteristics to the product card.
Lack of support for Mac OS family.

Based on the analysis of the functionality of the LiteBox program, we can say that it is worthy of the attention of entrepreneurs working in the trade sector. But the app is missing many important elements(a full-fledged client base, an intuitive interface, etc.), therefore, to achieve market leadership, developers still have a lot to create and change.

Subtotal

The Subtotal warehouse management software entered the market not so long ago, is at the stage of active development, therefore it occupies an average position in the ranking. The application is a typical cloud service for organizing retail sales.

Subtotal is primarily focused on trade, this program is not very suitable for services.

Thus, Subtotal is a program with good functionality, but technical problems scare off many customers even at the stage of testing the application.

Qasl

Trade automation service Qasl in 2017 acquired an important strategic investor - manufacturer cash registers ATOL. Shortly after the deal, Qasl presented a boxed solution for retail and catering, which was sold together with the ATOL Sigma 10 smart terminal.

As for the provision of services, the extended functionality for this area is still under development.

Advantages of the Qasl warehouse management program:

Automatic transfer of sales data to 1C, and vice versa, transfer of information about goods from 1C to the Qasl cloud database.

ATOL Sigma 10 works only with Qasl software.
There are no functions for goods reservation, delivery management.
Impossibility of Email-mailing.
Lack of telephone support.

The retail program Qasl is just beginning to conquer the market, therefore it is trying to attract customers with low tariffs and good functionality. The main problem for users is that integration with 1C, support for loyalty programs, warehouse functionality are available only in expensive tariff plans. In addition, users still have a lot of complaints about the work of the technical support service.

Friendly, intuitive interface that allows you to perform the initial setup of the program yourself.
Affordable plans for small businesses.
The presence of a convenient client base module.
A fully functional demo version that allows you to use all the features of the program for 14 days.

Cons of the program:

Only a limited list of cash register equipment models can be connected to the program.

The base tariff is useless, since it involves the introduction of only one supplier and one buyer into the base.
Lack of analytics for cashiers and assortment groups.
There is no possibility of finalizing programs for a specific client.

In general, the CloudShop program can be recommended for small stores that operate on a simple buy-and-sell basis. If we talk about restaurants, the need to customize the program, sales on order, then in such cases the application's capabilities will no longer be enough.

"Circuit"

The product for trade automation of the Kontur company is a whole set of accounting programs. The basic application is Kontur Accounting, which interacts with the online cash register through the Kontur Market software. To send the check data to the OFD, the program "Contour OFD" is additionally used.

The interface of the warehouse accounting program "Contour Accounting"

The accounting module is analogous to 1C and is responsible for maintaining a full-fledged accounting, warehouse and tax accounting... It is problematic to use it with third-party cash register programs, so it is better to immediately purchase a set of online cash registers with the Kontur Market and Kontur OFD software installed on them. The program is capable of working both in the cloud and offline.

Advantages of the Kontur software:

All accounting, including bookkeeping, is maintained within a single application.
The program allows you to keep records of several retail outlets and warehouses.

Cons of the Kontur program:

The high cost of a license and subscription for updates, which is not available to some entrepreneurs.

There is no free demo version.
The closed source code limits the ability to tailor the program to the needs of the client.

Tariff plans of the warehouse accounting program "Kontur Accounting"

Due to the availability of accounting functionality, the program interface is rather overloaded with the menu, so a novice entrepreneur is unlikely to like this application. For a small store or auto repair shop, it is better to pay attention to simpler warehouse management programs.

"1C: Trade and Warehouse"

1C software products are known to every entrepreneur, but the high cost is often the reason for choosing less expensive competitors' applications.

The interface of the program "1C: Trade and Warehouse"

The recommended price for the 1C: Trade and Warehouse configuration as of April 2019 was 15,200 rubles. Monthly product support will cost several thousand more.

Such a high cost makes the program attractive only for retail chains and large stores... Why do entrepreneurs value this app?

Availability of functionality for full-fledged accounting, tax and warehouse accounting.
Integration with any cash register and trade equipment.
Automatic generation of all unified trade documents.
Consolidated accounting in several outlets.
High stability of work.
The ability to customize the menu and functionality for a specific client.

High price.
Difficulty in training new employees.
Long period of implementation and customization.
The need for constant software updates.
Lack of round-the-clock support due to its provision by third parties.
Lack of a CMR system.
Lack of demo version.

Tariff plans of the warehouse accounting program "1C: Trade and Warehouse"

The products of the 1C company are focused mainly on medium and large businesses that are subject to OSNO or STS taxation regimes and can pay the high cost of software. For small entrepreneurs, who often work on a patent or UTII, accounting functionality is not so important, so for them the use of the 1C: Trade and Warehouse program is inappropriate.

The assessment took into account that the accounting program will be used mainly by entrepreneurs with special tax regimes. For them, the functionality of most of the listed programs is sufficient for drawing up tax reports. Therefore, in the first place in the assessment come functionality and the comfort of work. The final choice of a warehouse accounting program for a business remains with the entrepreneur himself.

Thanks to special software, keeping records of the movement of goods in stores, warehouses and other similar businesses has become much easier. The program itself will take care of saving and organizing the entered information, the user only needs to fill in the necessary invoices, register receipts and sales. In this article, we'll take a look at a few of the most popular software solutions that are great for retail.

MoySklad - modern programs designed for trade and warehouse enterprises, retail and online stores. Software solution for convenience, it is divided into two parts:

Cash program. Can be installed on any platform: Windows, Linux, Android, iOS. There is support for online cash registers (54-FZ), it is possible to connect a smart terminal Evotor, as well as any of the following fiscal registrars: SHTRIKH-M, Viki Print, ATOL.

It is designed to work with prices, discounts, nomenclature. Here, both warehouse accounting and the client base are maintained, all the necessary reports are formed and available for viewing.

MoySklad also has several interesting, useful functions. In it, you can create labels in an interactive editor, and then send them to print. Depending on the format of the outlet, the sale can be carried out individually and in sets, taking into account the modification of the same product. For example, if it's a clothing store, a modification would be a specific color and size of the item. Added work with bonus programs- for the purchases made within the framework of the promotions, the program calculates points with which the buyer will be able to pay in the future. The payment itself is possible both in cash and through terminals accepting bank cards... It is also important that MoySklad operates in accordance with the law on mandatory labeling of goods.

Based on individual needs, the client is offered to manage a different number of points of sale, add an online store or business site on VKontakte. All users of MoySklad are provided with round-the-clock technical support, whose employees are ready to answer any questions that arise. MyWarehouse for one user with one point of sale is provided free of charge, flexible tariff plans have been developed for larger businesses with payment of 450 rubles / month.

OPSURT

It should be noted right away that OPSURT is distributed absolutely free of charge, which is rare for such software, since it is used in business. But this does not make the program bad - it contains everything you need that the manager and other personnel who will use it may need. There is reliable password protection, and the administrator himself creates access levels for each user.

It is worth noting the convenient management of purchase and sale. You just need to select the name and drag it to another table for it to be counted. This is much easier than selecting it from a list, clicking and navigating through several windows to prepare the item for movement. In addition, there is the possibility of connecting a scanner and a receipt printing device.

True Shop

The functionality of this representative is also quite extensive, but the program is distributed for a fee, and in the trial version, half of everything is simply not available even for familiarization. However, the open options are enough to form your opinion about True Shop. It is unremarkable, with a standard set of tools, software used in retail.

We should also pay special attention to the support of discount cards, which is rare. This feature opens in full version and is a table where all customers who have such a card are entered. This feature allows you to quickly access information about discounts, expiration dates and other information.

Goods, Prices, Accounting

"Products, Prices, Accounting" just resembles a collection of tables and databases, but this is only in appearance. In fact, it has more features that are useful in retail and product tracking. For example, the creation of invoices for the transfer or receipt and the register of goods. Documents and operations are then sorted and placed in directories, where the administrator will find everything he needs.

There is the possibility of switching to other versions that provide extensive functionality. Some of them are under testing and not fully finalized. Therefore, before moving on, study the information on the official website in detail, the developers always describe additional versions.

Universal accounting software

This is one of the lightweight platform configurations developed by Supasoft. It is a set of functions and plugins most suitable for running small businesses such as stores and warehouses, where you need to track goods, draw up invoices and reports. The user can always contact the developers, and they, in turn, will help create an individual configuration for the needs of the client.

In this version, there is a minimum set of tools that you may need - this is the addition of products, companies, positions and the creation of free tables with various invoices and reports on purchase / sale.

Movement of goods

A free program that sorts and stores all the necessary information. Then it can be quickly opened, viewed and edited. It is most convenient to work with invoices and reports in it, since convenient filling forms have been made. The interface is also made in the most comfortable style.

There is also a cash register tool, where all the functionality is implemented in the form of a table. Products are displayed on the left and can be sorted into folders. They are moved to the adjacent table, where the price and quantity are indicated. Then the results are summed up and the check is sent to print.

Goods and warehouse accounting

Another representative with an unlimited number of configurations - it all depends only on the wishes of the buyer. This assembly is one of them; it is distributed free of charge and is applicable to familiarization with the basic functionality, but for network operation, you will need to purchase a paid version. A program based on the ApeK platform has been developed.

There are a lot of plugins connected, which should be enough for retail and product tracking. Some functions may even seem superfluous to certain users, but this is not a big deal, since they are disabled and enabled in the designated menu.

Client Shop

Client Shop is a good retail tool. It allows you to always be aware of the status of the product, track all processes, draw up sales and purchase invoices, view directories and reports. The elements are divided into groups in the main window, and the control is convenient and there are tips that will help novice users figure it out.

This is not the whole list of programs that are suitable for owners of warehouses, shops and other similar businesses. They are good not only in retail, but also in performing other processes associated with working in such enterprises. Look for something that suits you individually, try the free version to see if the program is right for you or not, as they all differ in many ways.

In addition, if you have installed such commodity accounting programs as "1C: Trade and Warehouse" or "1C: Trade Management", then you can transfer not only reference books, but also most of the entered documents.

In order for the store to work efficiently and be profitable, all work processes must be automated and controlled by the manager. But how to keep records competently and avoid cost overruns and theft? Let's figure it out in our article.

What is retail accounting

Retail accounting- this is the accounting of the movement (receipts, storage, sales) of goods in the store.

Purposes of accounting for goods in the store:

control the safety of goods;
control the sale of goods;
have accurate data on the balances, turnover of a particular product;

management of stocks of goods on counters and in a store warehouse;

Record keeping of goods in retail

Conditionally, it can be divided into accounting for the receipt of goods, accounting for sales and accounting for storage of goods.

When goods arrive at the store, the material responsible person comes them on the basis of accompanying documents. These are consignment notes , invoices TORG-12, certificates, specifications, etc.

At the same time, the correctness of their filling and the compliance of the actual availability of the goods with documentary data at the time of receipt of goods and materials, as well as the quality of the goods and their safety for the health of buyers are checked.

In the event of a discrepancy between factual and documentary data in the required number of copies, an Act of discrepancy is drawn up in the form of TORG-2, which indicates all the inconsistencies found.

After acceptance, the documents, certified by the signature of the receiving person and the seal of the organization, are handed over to the accounting department to accept the goods on the account. After acceptance, the goods are sent for storage: to the warehouse of the store and to the sales areas.

Technologically, this process is divided into:

Acceptance of goods for storage;
Placement of goods;
Ensuring optimal storage conditions;
Control and maintenance of stored goods;
Sending goods for sale, replenishment of the stock of goods.

The storage of goods must be organized in accordance with all the rules and regulations that apply to this product. Should be optimal:

way of packing goods;

commodity neighborhood (to avoid the influence of one product on another - mixing or transferring odors, moisture, etc.).

Commodity losses that periodically appear during storage - breakage, scrap, shrinkage, damage, etc. - written off in accordance with the norms of natural loss - if the losses are not caused by improper storage and lack of control over the goods.

Sales accounting in retail store carried out through breaking a check to the buyer for the purchased goods.

Disadvantages of manual store inventory

The main reason for all errors in the inventory of goods in the store is the human factor. Inconsistency in the actions of staff among themselves due to the lack or untimely receipt of information on the product, mistakes when breaking through a check, when posting goods and filling out documents, theft - these are problems that become a serious obstacle to the development of the store and making them profit.

By automating the inventory of goods in the store, the entrepreneur will be able to eliminate these problems, since it is the automation of accounting that makes it possible to control the movement of goods and the sales process in real time.
