This Q&A has been compiled from a customer interview and presents the key points and insights shared by Home Lab regarding their experience with Stock&Buy.
To start, could you share the challenges you faced before using Stock&Buy?
Before Stock&Buy, our major challenge was the lack of Shopify integration and software that could handle the complexities of accurately tracking stock and cost of goods sold. We needed a solution that could provide a comprehensive overview of our finances and stock counts.
Have you tried other similar software before considering Stock&Buy?
No, we hadn’t. What stood out with Stock&Buy was its functionality, which suited our growing needs. While considering other options like Cin7, the lack of adequate support and unnecessary complexity made us stick with Stock&Buy.
Did you have any reservations when adopting our software?
Not really. Although starting with new software is always a bit daunting, Stock&Buy’s user-friendly interface and seamless integration made the onboarding process smooth. Plus, the excellent support team quickly resolved any initial teething issues we faced.
How has Stock&Buy assisted your team in achieving its goals?
Stock&Buy has become integral to our operations. It allows us to accurately track the cost of goods and every sale. Especially with the upcoming BI tools, we’re excited to gain deeper insights into our business data, aiding our decision-making processes and ensuring our cash flow remains steady.
Who do you think would benefit most from Stock&Buy, and would you recommend it?
I wholeheartedly recommend Stock&Buy. Any business managing stock, from small setups to larger enterprises, can benefit immensely. Starting early with robust software like Stock&Buy is crucial. It avoids future headaches when the business grows, ensuring a seamless and efficient stock management process.
Thank you, Ben, for your valuable insights. We appreciate your time and look forward to supporting your business further. If you have any final thoughts please feel free to share.
