The Inventory section in Altegio allows you to manage products for sale, consumables used in services, and all stock movements within the company. Without inventory tracking, a business faces familiar losses: hair dye runs out in the middle of an appointment, products are written off without anyone knowing where they went, and retail profit is not visible in the overall revenue picture. Proper inventory setup solves all of these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inventory operations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Multiple inventory for different tasks<\/strong> For example, if shampoos are running low on the display shelf, the administrator checks stock balances and transfers products from the main inventories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Automatic write-off of consumables through service formulas<\/strong> For example, the \u201cHair coloring\u201d service automatically deducts 20 ml of dye, 20 ml of developer, and one pair of gloves. The specialist finishes the work, and inventory balances are already updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inventory count: actual stock matches the system<\/strong> Barcodes: faster product handling<\/strong> Working with products<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Control of purchasing and stock receipt<\/strong> This prevents situations where an important material runs out in the middle of the working day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Product sales and revenue tracking<\/strong> Retail sales become part of the overall revenue picture and are visible in analytics alongside income from services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Write-off of damaged and used products<\/strong> Managing a large assortment through Excel<\/strong> Inventory operations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Control of all product movements<\/strong> Reports: data for decisions<\/strong> Product ordering<\/a><\/strong> helps plan purchases based on current, minimum, and desired stock levels.

In Altegio, you can create multiple warehouses and separate products by purpose: consumables for services, retail products, display stock, or stock assigned to a specific supplier. This approach makes it clear where products are located and how much remains in each category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Consumables used in every service, such as dye, developer, disposable gloves, or cosmetic products, can be written off automatically. The service formula specifies which materials are used and in what quantity during the service. Once the visit is completed, the system writes everything off automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
To make sure real stock matches the data in the system, the business performs inventory counts. Employees count products, compare them with the system, and Altegio automatically adjusts discrepancies. This helps identify accounting errors, control stock movement, and avoid unexpected shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Barcode scanners speed up all inventory operations. During a sale, it is enough to scan the product, and the system finds the correct item and adds it to the sale automatically. The same works for receiving stock, inventory counts, and working with gift cards and memberships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Each new delivery is recorded through a stock receipt operation. The system stores the supplier, purchase cost, and updates stock balances. For each product, you can set a critical stock level, meaning the minimum quantity at which employees understand it is time to place a new order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
When a client buys a product, the system automatically deducts it from inventory, records the sale, and adds the data to the operation history. The receptionist completes the sale in the visit card without extra steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
If a product is damaged, spoiled, or no longer suitable for sale, for example if a shampoo has expired, a write-off operation is created. Inventory balances always reflect the real situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
If the product catalog is already maintained in a spreadsheet or another system, it can be uploaded to Altegio through Excel. After import, the products are immediately ready to use, without manual entry of each item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
All product operations are recorded in the Inventory Operations section: receipts, sales, write-offs, and transfers. If a product is unexpectedly missing from stock, the manager opens the operations log and sees when and by whom it was written off. This ensures transparency and helps quickly find the cause of discrepancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Inventory balances<\/a><\/strong> show the current quantity of products, their cost, and markup. You can immediately see how much money is invested in inventory and which products are available for sale or use in services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
