Why QUICKSTOCK Stock Levels Fluctuate
by Natalie Edwards

Liam, the QUICKSTOCK Operations Manager at Euromarc is here to address a few common questions asked by customers new to QUICKSTOCK.

Why is there so much stock in the cabinets?

The amount of stock being added to the cabinets at installation can sometimes look a bit surprising. It’s completely normal to see more stock in the cabinets over the first few months as a company settles in to having the system. There’s a couple of reasons for this:

 

  1. We advise new QUICKSTOCK customers to use up the consumables they already had in stock before starting to use the QUICKSTOCK consumables.

  2. More stock is needed in the beginning to get the system working.

 

Remember, regardless of how much stock is in the cabinets, you only get charged for what you use.

How it works

The cabinets are initially stocked with 3 months’ worth of your average monthly consumable usage.

 

After your first month of QUICKSTOCK, the replenisher will come in and count the cabinets to see what stock has been used. An order is then placed, and that stock will be replenished the following month.

 

From there, the cycle begins with 2 months’ worth of stock being rotated between use and replenishment.

 

The 3rd months’ worth of stock stays in the cabinet as a buffer.  This covers you for situations like an unexpected job where you use more than usual, or in the unlikely event stock is unable to be replenished for a month – like a natural disaster or national emergency.  

What does a replenishment look like?

At the beginning of each month your local replenisher will visit with stock based on your previous months’ usage. They will count and tidy the stock in the cabinet before replenishing it with the new stock.

 

So you’ll have a constant flow of stock available, but because of the constant usage, the cabinets will never look as full as they did when they were first installed. And again, one of the benefits of QUICKSTOCK is you’re only charged for the product that’s been used, and this gets charged at pack pricing rates the following month – so it’s great for cashflow.
