Auto-suggest transfers between outlets
Sell-through and stock-on-hand drive transfer suggestions. Keep the bestsellers in stock at outlets that are selling them; move dead stock from outlets that aren’t.
Part of HelloBooks POS · Multi-store / chain ops
Inventory imbalance is what kills chain economics — Outlet A is out of L sized shirts while Outlet B has 30 sitting in the stock room. HelloBooks computes sell-through, days-of-supply, and ABC class per outlet, then suggests transfers that put stock where the demand is.
Every detail, dialled in
Built for the till, validated against the canonical accounting engine — so every POS sale closes the books cleanly.
Sell-through driven suggestions
The engine looks at sell-through over a rolling window (configurable 7 / 14 / 30 days), days-of-supply per SKU per outlet, and recommends transfers. The buyer reviews, approves, and the GRN flows.
- Rolling sell-through window
- Days-of-supply per SKU per outlet
- ABC class per outlet
- Buyer approves before transfer
Inter-outlet transfer journey
Approved transfers create a Stock Transfer Request; the source outlet picks and dispatches; the destination outlet receives via GRN. The audit trail is unbroken; the inventory is correct at every step.
- Transfer Request → pick → dispatch → receive
- In-transit inventory state
- Discrepancy on receive flagged
- Per-outlet P&L preserved
Dead-stock surfacing
On the flip side — stock that hasn’t moved in N days at an outlet but is selling well at another. The same engine suggests the reverse-transfer; dead stock turns over before it goes obsolete.
- No-sale window per SKU
- Cross-outlet velocity comparison
- Auto-suggest reverse-transfer
- Markdown trigger optional
Why teams move off legacy tills
- Buyer plans by gut
- Transfers via email
- No in-transit visibility
- Dead stock invisible until seasonally obvious
- Engine-suggested
- In-transit state native
- Dead stock surfaced early
- Buyer focused on judgment, not data entry
Questions, answered
Can I auto-approve transfers below a threshold?
Yes — auto-approval policy configurable per outlet group and value threshold.
How does GST work on inter-outlet transfers?
Same-state transfers are documents only; cross-state transfers fire the canonical IGST treatment for branch transfers.
What about new-store seeding?
A separate replenishment mode for new stores — assortment-driven rather than sell-through driven.
Can buyers override the suggestion?
Always. The engine suggests; the buyer decides. Every override is recorded for model improvement.
