Inventory & ingredient control

Know your stock. Protect your margins.

Running out mid-service, buying too much, or chasing unexplained stock differences? ATC helps you see what is available, plan replenishment and give every stock decision a clearer starting point.

For restaurants, retail and stockrooms

From the goods on your shelves to the decisions behind your next order.

More clarity in the stockroom. More confidence in the business.

Have the right goods ready

Follow available quantities and low-stock thresholds so replenishment starts before a missing item interrupts a sale or service.

Keep working capital moving

Review stock and usage together. See what needs attention before ordering more, especially ingredients that are easily wasted.

Give stock differences a trail

Bring recorded quantities, physical counts and stock movements into the same conversation. Resolve discrepancies with records, not recollection.

Ingredients & everyday supplies

What is left in the kitchen matters as much as what sold.

Rice, flour, oil, drinks and takeaway packaging all tie up money. Organize them by item and unit so purchasing and the kitchen work from the same understanding of stock.

  • One item, one clear unit

    Separate kilograms, bottles and pieces; agree pack conversions before the workflow goes live.

  • Replenish with a reason

    Use stock levels and agreed minimum quantities to guide the next purchasing discussion.

  • Make usage easier to review

    Compare recorded movements with counts to spot items that deserve a closer look.

Stocktaking & supporting records

A count should end with answers, not another spreadsheet.

A quantity difference is the start of an investigation. A useful workflow connects the physical count to receipts, issues and transfers so the team can review what happened before agreeing an adjustment.

  1. Count against the recorded balance
  2. Review the relevant stock documents
  3. Agree the reason before an adjustment

Explore a stock workflow

See the difference. Know what to check next.

Select a step, then change the actual quantity to see the difference. This is an interactive workflow example with sample data; the delivered interface and modules are agreed for your project.

Why build with ATC

Stock control belongs in your business, not in isolation.

ATC develops POS and business software for partners in Europe and Canada. That experience gives the stock conversation a wider context: how goods arrive, how they are sold and what the owner needs to review.

Built around the operation

Agree item lists, units, locations and responsibilities before choosing the configuration. Your actual workflow sets the brief.

A wider product ecosystem

Discuss inventory alongside restaurant or retail POS, with the required data connections confirmed for the chosen edition.

A technical team to grow with

Plan the interface, devices, training and support together. For partners, explore an inventory offer under your own brand.

Before choosing your inventory setup

Can we manage ingredients as well as retail goods?

Start with the items, units and stock thresholds you need to track. Pack conversions, recipe quantities, expiry tracking and automatic deductions must be confirmed against the selected edition and agreed scope.

What should we prepare from our current stock records?

Bring an item list, units, opening quantities and sample receipt, issue and count sheets. ATC can review the data structure and agree how information will be prepared and brought into the project.

Will it work with our POS and multiple locations?

Describe the POS edition, devices, locations and transfer process you use. ATC will confirm the connections, supported workflows and deployment scope before quotation; compatibility is not assumed from a product image.

Bring a real stock problem. Leave with a clearer plan.

A sample stock sheet and a description of your day-to-day process are enough to start a useful conversation about the right setup, rollout and support.
