Inventory management for tuckshops, supermarkets and hardware stores in Zimbabwe
Whether you run one shop in Harare or branches across Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare and Gweru, stock is where money disappears unnoticed: items that walk out, deliveries short of the invoice, slow movers on the shelf and best sellers out of stock. Afritelligence counts every unit in and out, so the number on the screen is the number on the shelf.
- ✓Stock per branch and transfers between branches
- ✓Low-stock alerts and a reorder plan
- ✓Stock takes that show shortages
- ✓Supplier deliveries with cost and what you owe
- ✓Batches and expiry dates
- ✓Profit per item and per day
What is an inventory management system?
An inventory management system tracks what stock you have, where it is, what's selling and what needs reordering. Every sale, delivery, transfer and adjustment changes the stock, so the numbers on screen match the shelf.
Afritelligence is an inventory management system for businesses in Zimbabwe, built into the point of sale, so stock moves the moment something is sold — with values in Zimbabwe Gold (ZWG).
Who needs inventory management?
Any business in Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare and Gweru that holds stock: shops, wholesalers, chemists, hardware stores, agrovets and spare parts dealers.
- ✓Shops and supermarkets
- ✓Wholesalers and distributors

How stock stays right
Deliveries are received against a purchase and add stock at their cost. Sales reduce it. Damaged or missing items are adjusted with a reason. A stock take compares the count with the system and records only the difference, so you see exactly what went missing.
What it replaces
The stock book and the monthly count that never matches. With an inventory management system you know what's on the shelf, what's selling and what's tying up your cash.
