Do you ever see a product and think to yourself “Now why didn’t I think of that?” Over the past few years Silly Bandz and Rainbow Looms have been sell outs - and both are made of nothing but rubber bands. Wouldn’t you like to be the lucky person who looked at a pile of colored rubber bands one day and saw a million dollar business opportunity? Maybe you already are that person. While Stockpile won’t help you come up with your breakthrough business idea, our free inventory management software will help you make the most of the ideas that you do have.
Whether your small business is booming or just getting off the ground you have inventory and your ability to successfully manage it can make or break you. It’s vital that you have the inventory that you need, when you need it. For a few months one summer Silly Bandz were so popular that stock in local shops was being depleted within 24 hours of hitting the shelves. Suppliers were scrambling to meet demand and store owners were routinely issuing apologies to valued customers who missed the shipment by less than a day. Then school started back and teachers and principals quickly banned the colorful and very distracting bracelets. Within weeks Silly Bandz were piled up everywhere at deeply discounted prices. Effective inventory tracking was the difference between profiting from the fad and taking a loss on unsold stock. Not every product moves so quickly from hot seller to bargain bin reject but changes do occur. You need to know what you have, how much of it is on hand and where exactly it is. Stockpile makes tracking your inventory quick and easy. Once you’ve entered your data into the system you’ll be amazed at how clearly you can see your inventory - even across multiple locations. Plus Stockpile is free inventory management software for small business, so you can try it risk-free. Now that sounds like a great idea!
