Branches & transfers

Move stock between locations

Run a warehouse and multiple branches with transfer history and quantities that stay accurate after sync.

The problem

Spreadsheets cannot keep warehouse, branch, and counter quantities aligned. Novend tracks stock per location and records every transfer.

Outcome

See what each location holds without rebuilding spreadsheets every week.

Workflow

How teams use this module day to day

  1. 01

    Centralize receiving

    Receive supplier stock into wholesale storage or the receiving branch with a clear purchase record.

    Transfer with history

    Issue stock to branches and keep a transfer trail managers can audit later.

  3. 03

    Sell locally

    Each counter sells from stock available at that location—no shared mystery quantity.

  4. 04

    Review by branch

    Open branch detail for people, stock posture, and operational context for that site.

In depth

Wholesale as the hub

Receive into central storage, then issue to branches when shops need replenishment.

Transfers you can defend

Issue stock with quantities and destinations recorded so disputes between sites have a source of truth.

Branches as real places

Manage branch profiles and drill into a location when you need operational detail—not just a label on a filter.
