Operational & Implementation Impact

• Warehouse workflow changes: Stock receiving moves from accounting-led invoice entry to purchase-order-led goods-in with barcode verification. Pick/pack becomes order-driven with scan validation, improving auditability and reducing manual correction work.
• Allocation & availability behaviour: Inventory availability becomes governed by allocation rules rather than channel-first demand. This allows stock to be reserved intentionally (e.g. for B2B or pre-orders), reducing accidental sell-through and protecting margin.
• Purchasing & replenishment logic: Replenishment moves from min/max spreadsheet logic to demand-led planning informed by sell-through, lead time and location-level stock positions. Automation depth is configurable and human-controlled.
• Data model implications: Composite items and bundles are managed centrally as assemblies, drawing from raw or component inventory in real time. This supports accurate availability across ecommerce and wholesale channels.
• Accounting & reconciliation: Accounting platforms remain the finance backbone. Stok.ly synchronises operational events (sales, purchasing, returns, landed cost distribution) to support reconciliation confidence without replacing the general ledger.
• Multi-currency procurement: Where applicable, purchase orders and landed costs can be recorded in supplier currency, with mapped financial posting to accounting platforms during implementation.
