SALES CAPTURE A CAPTURE SOFTWARE SALES AND INVENTORY FOR NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPS. Design and implementation of a monitoring tool that allows neighborhood storekeepers real-time record sales transactions, inventory and accounts receivable product of their daily operations
PROBLEM OR NEED THAT AIMS TO SOLVE According to figures thrown by the company Servinformación in the census of georeferenced commercial establishments, known as Infocomercio 2011 threw the neighborhood store is one of the business with greater presence in the capital and in Colombia Aware of this, the producers have been responsible for training the shopkeepers on issues concerning merchandising, quality and distribution of products, this effort seeks to strengthen supplier relationship - Grocer considering that approximately 60% of sales from producers of food and grocery focuses on purchases made by the TAT channel. Despite the importance of this distribution channel for large companies producing live and groceries and their efforts to strengthen this business model, the processes of modernization in neighborhood stores are not apparent in bulk. Another important factor in the consolidation of this business model in the Colombian economy element is customer financing, in addition to selling small quantities of products that cater to the daily life of families, neighborhood shops offer credit to their customers, unfortunately the registration of these obligations is crudely and logging tools used do not guarantee proper treatment of the information provided. Today many stores in neighborhoods do not have tools that enable them to lead an orderly registration and consolidated credit sales and cash of food and groceries, also take control inventory levels which rotates in the line of business. That is why we ask, is it possible to develop a tool to capture sales data, accounts receivable and inventory for neighborhood shops? We believe that it is possible to develop a comprehensive solution that contributes to the modernization of local shops and systematization of sensitive data generated daily and are of vital utility for decision-making. It wants to offer as a solution a product that is responsible for capturing sales records that are recorded daily, this system also capture inventory of merchandise for sale, its value costing and selling prices to establish by reports gross margin operating in the time period by the end user set
PROJECT J USTIFICATION According to recent studies Fenalco, in Colombia 54% of people prefer to buy in a store, not a supermarket. The director of economic studies Fenalco Rafael Spain responds to Money magazine as follows: "There are several reasons why Colombians still prefer neighborhood stores are psychologists of the poor, because he listens to all problems for consumers, act police because they realize the strange people in the neighborhoods, bankers remain poor because trust and pay ". This is largely due to the adaptability that has this format business that has managed to survive crisis, openings and other adverse movements in the economy in recent years adapting to the needs of its customers. Strategies superstores are focusing on the penetration of neighborhoods to expand its niche and gain a greater share of this, which is why they are buying retail businesses and implement formats such as "Express Success" himself and with the development of own brands, adapt the presentation of the products distributed by copying the formats of the stores. As discussed above, the main producers of food and groceries have given significant support when it comes to training and training for storekeepers on important issues such as quality, merchandising and service culture, networks as Fenalco has also joined this type of initiatives Fenaltiendas program which aims to train the storekeeper on business issues so you can compete in an increasingly demanding market. Despite these initiatives are important, even neighborhood shops do not have the training or tools to manage the information generated in the course of business, even cases where the shopkeeper does not know are presented exactly as sells daily, what percentage rotate the products it sells, which is the volume decline in inventories among other useful variables for decision making. In addition to this, many of the sales made by the storekeeper neighborhood are on credit, we found this approach an opportunity for improvement to the extent that the vast majority of shopkeepers registered their accounts receivable in notebooks without a defined methodology or standard for the provision of records, creating risks regarding the quality and reliability of the data, this situation creates an obvious advantage from a neighborhood store and supermarkets seeking to enter the local market. Empiricism that usually prevails in the business district reduces their real competitiveness and growth chances against a phenomenon that is becoming widespread in the country as it is the entry of large surface areas popular with small but well-organized stores.
In order to reduce somewhat the gap between local businesses and supermarkets in the management of product information from their daily operations is proposed to create software that capture credit sales and cash and inventory for neighborhood shops with this tool it is intended that the storekeeper to systematize their operations and can meet real-time operating margins product of exploitation corporate purpose of your business. By being able to systematize the data generated by your business, the storekeeper neighborhood is better able to compete against models of larger and more technically advanced business, we believe that if adequate data management with the characteristics of each business comparative advantages combined, the storekeeper you can develop a sustainable competitive advantage over time that will allow you to grow in the market
