Apparel capabilities are woven throughout CounterPoint. CounterPoint offers the ease of use, integrated features, and merchandising information essential for profitable soft goods retailing.
In soft goods, a single inventory item (a "style") can be stocked in multiple colors and sizes (or lengths, widths, patterns, etc.).
Apparel grids can be one-, two-, or three-dimensional, with an unlimited number of colors and sizes (or lengths, widths, heights, etc.). An item can have thousands of unique color/size combinations, each of which is called a cell.
Items can be viewed, processed, and printed in grid format throughout CounterPoint, including adjustments, receivings, purchasing, transfers, physical counts, and ticket entry.
When a new item is set up, its grid (color/size) layout is also established. New grids may be set up by copying a grid from an existing item to reduce errors and speed up the entry process.
You can track information for each cell, including quantity-on-hand, quantity-committed, quantity-backordered, quantity-on-PO's, min/max quantities, and more. You can also specify which cells are stocked (or not-stocked) for each location.
Each cell of a gridded item can have a unique barcode with multiple barcodes per cell, if needed. This feature allows goods to be scanned throughout CounterPoint, reducing entry time and errors. Cell-specific barcodes may be manually entered or automatically assigned.
In Purchasing, gridded items can be quickly placed on order and easily tracked. Reorders may be entered manually or calculated automatically to meet model-stock levels. PO forms can print color/size information in a list or grid format. Receivings are quick—only the exceptions are entered.
CounterPoint includes valuable reports for comparing, summarizing, and analyzing merchandise so you can make decisions on whether to reorder specific merchandise.
