How Eastleigh traders can manage stock, suppliers and payments

Eastleigh traders can manage stock, suppliers, Cash, M-PESA, Bank, invoices and supplier payments with better records.

Eastleigh has many active traders dealing with clothing, electronics, household goods, wholesale items, food, accessories and imported products. Stock can move quickly and supplier relationships matter.

A trader may buy from different suppliers, sell to many customers, receive payments through Cash, M-PESA and Bank, and allow some buyers to pay later.

Without clear records, the trader may not know which supplier is owed, which customer owes money, or which stock is producing the best margin.

What to record

  • Supplier purchases and bills.
  • Stock quantities and cost prices.
  • Cash, M-PESA and Bank sales.
  • Customer invoices and balances.
  • Transfers between accounts.
  • Expenses such as transport, delivery, rent and staff.

Common risks

  • Supplier debts forgotten.
  • Customer debts not followed up.
  • Stock loss hidden by busy sales.
  • Bank and M-PESA transfers recorded wrongly.
