Software for Stationery

School-season demand peaks, institutional supply and wide low-value SKU ranges.

Stationery retail is dominated by the school season, when a few weeks produce a large share of annual turnover. Many shops also supply schools and offices on credit against purchase orders, which is a different business from counter sale with different paperwork and collection cycles.

What gets in the way

  • Annual demand concentrated into a short school-opening window
  • Institutional supply on credit needs purchase-order tracking and slow collection
  • Textbook and syllabus changes make last year's stock obsolete
  • Very large numbers of low-value items make counting impractical
  • Bulk institutional pricing differs from counter pricing on the same items

What the software handles

  • Separate price lists for counter, institution and wholesale
  • Purchase-order-based institutional supply with delivery challans
  • Season-ahead procurement based on last year's movement
  • Receivables ageing for institutional customers
  • Category-level cycle counting rather than full stock-take

What changes

  • Institutional receivables aged and chased systematically
  • Season stocked on evidence rather than estimate
  • Correct price list applied automatically by customer type
