ALIDINA SYSTEMS
Inventory and stock management software for Uganda
ALIDINA POS helps a business understand what it has, what moved and why. Inventory is connected to sales, purchase receiving and controlled stock adjustments.
Products and product identity
Maintain product names, SKUs, barcodes, selling prices and available quantities. Barcode support helps staff locate the correct item at checkout and during stock work.
Purchases, batches and adjustments
Purchase invoices can receive stock from suppliers. Batch and expiry records support products that need traceability, while adjustment and removal records explain authorised changes.
Branch-aware operations
Branch inventory, transfers, branch pricing and branch reporting are business tools. Plan limits apply: POS Lite allows one branch, one total user and up to 300 products, while other packages publish their own capacity limits.
Build a stock record that staff can explain
A stock count tells you what is on the shelf; a connected inventory record helps explain how it got there. Start with a consistent product name and barcode, receive purchases against the supplier, and let recorded sales update quantities. Review stock movements before making an authorised adjustment. Hardware shops may organise many similar items; boutiques and baby shops need clear product identity; wholesalers need purchasing records they can revisit. The quality of the reports depends on entering accurate quantities, costs and opening records. Software cannot correct an unrecorded physical movement automatically.
Prepare for a guided demonstration
Bring a representative product list and supplier purchase to the discussion. Ask to see the original record, the related history and the report you will use. Count all users, including the owner, and confirm the branch capacity you need. Preparing names, opening quantities and balances before setup helps keep your first records consistent. Agree onboarding responsibilities and support arrangements directly; a demonstration request does not create an account or book a time automatically.
Reconcile opening stock and later movement
Choose a starting date, count physical stock and prepare product identities before entering opening quantities. Keep supplier records consistent so purchases can be revisited. When stock differs from the physical shelf, investigate sales, receiving and transfers before adjusting the record. An adjustment should explain an authorised change, not hide an unresolved discrepancy. For a business with more than one branch, demonstrate the transfer and receiving steps and confirm the published branch limit. This gives the owner a process for reviewing exceptions as well as a list of current quantities.
