Stageholder for Retail

Overview

Retail businesses need tight control over inventory to maximize sales and minimize waste. Stageholder helps retailers track store inventory, manage stock across locations, streamline receiving, and maintain accurate counts — whether you have one store or hundreds.

Key Challenges We Solve

Inventory Accuracy

The Problem: Inventory counts don't match what's actually on shelves, leading to stockouts, overstock, and lost sales.

How Stageholder Helps:

Real-time inventory visibility across all locations
Barcode scanning for accurate counts
Regular cycle counting workflows
Shrinkage tracking and analysis

Multi-Location Stock Management

The Problem: Managing inventory across stores, warehouses, and distribution centers is complex and error-prone.

How Stageholder Helps:

See stock levels at every location
Transfer inventory between locations
Consolidated reporting across all sites
Location-specific reorder points

Stockouts & Overstock

The Problem: Running out of popular items loses sales. Overstocking ties up cash and requires markdowns.

How Stageholder Helps:

Set minimum and maximum stock levels
Automatic low-stock alerts
Suggested reorder quantities
Historical sales data for better planning

Store Equipment & Fixtures

The Problem: POS systems, display fixtures, and store equipment need tracking and maintenance.

How Stageholder Helps:

Track all store equipment and fixtures
Schedule maintenance for POS systems
Manage equipment across locations
Calculate depreciation for accounting
