Stock Control
Stock management and cash control for Kenyan small shops
Kenyan small shops need to track both stock movement and money movement to understand the business properly.
Stock management and cash control should work together. A shop owner needs to know what was sold, what stock remains, and whether the money from those sales is actually in Cash, M-PESA or Bank.
If stock reduces but sales are missing, the business may have unrecorded sales, damaged goods, stock loss or staff mistakes. If sales are recorded but Cash is missing, the owner needs to investigate money movement.
Stock tells one side of the story. Money tells the other side.
What stock management shows
- Which items are available.
- Which items are running low.
- Which products sell often.
- Which stock was damaged, expired or adjusted.
What cash control shows
- Whether sales money is in the correct account.
- Whether Cash is short or over.
- Whether M-PESA balances match records.
- Whether transfers were recorded correctly.
