Using an Inventory System to Keep Your Office Stationery Supplies in Check

You can only control your office supplies with a good inventory system so start using a great system and make sure you don't incur more costs than you need to.

Leicester, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) September 14, 2011 - Getting a great supplier for your office is the first step to making sure you have a business that is running cost efficiently. What you have to remember though is that even if you find great office stationery suppliers like Viking Direct, you will still need to make sure you have a great inventory system to match up to your supplier.

Many companies forget this fact, but at the end of the day, your office costs don't add up because of the supplier you use. Rather, costs add up because you are unable to correctly forecast, or correctly guard the stocks which you have in storage. A good inventory system will not only tell you how much you have in stock it will also tell you how much time approximately you have left before you contact Viking Direct for your next replenishment.

First and foremost, your inventory system must have an in and out sign off. This means that there is a sign off whenever supplies are brought in and you must have a sign off when supplies are taken from storage. The great thing about getting Viking paper supplies is that you can just save the receiving receipts they present to you when they bring over their shipment. These receipts are stamped and dates marked, so any information you need to input is readily available.

You should invest in software to track your inventory. Of course, a spreadsheet also works, but inventory software is generally hassle free and provides you with a forecasting system. The forecasting will be able to tell you automatically what office stationery supplies will likely need replenishing in say a week or so. At the same time they will also be able to remind you or notify you when you do really need to get supplies. They will also give you the chance to see what types office stationery supplies are fast moving so that you can keep extra stocks of these items. Ultimately your inventory system will help you curb costs internally and ensure you have an optimal supply in stock.

Another way to curb costs is to ensure you buy cheap office stationery of good quality from the U.Ks biggest supplier Viking Direct at http://www.viking-direct.org/.
