Aptic for retail shops

Stock what sells. Free up your cash.

Compare what sells with what sits on the shelf. See where money is tied up in stock and which best sellers keep running out.

Three questions worth answering.

Aptic's offices answer them from your own records.

Which best sellers keep running out?

See how often top items were out of stock and what that likely cost in sales.

How much cash is sitting in slow stock?

Find items that have not sold in months and what they are worth.

When should we reorder?

Set reorder points from real sales, not guesswork.

Shelves full. Best sellers missing.

What these numbers suggest when read together.

Illustrative example
  • Point of sale

    Top 20 items out of stock for an average of 9 days last month

  • Inventory

    38% of stock value in items with no sale in 90 days

  • Accounting

    Cash on hand down 25% after the seasonal order

Recommended next step

Cash is tied up in slow items while best sellers run out. Set reorder points for the top 20 items, mark down the slowest stock, and review sales and cash after four weeks.

Why this recommendation?

Confidence: Medium-high. Stock and sales records show both problems; the sales lost to empty shelves are estimated.

A full stockroom is not the same as the right stock.

What Aptic reads in a shop.

You choose what Aptic can see. Reading a source does not authorize changes.

  • Point of sale: what sold, when, and at what price
  • Inventory: stock levels, reorders, and how long items sit
  • Suppliers and purchasing: order sizes, costs, and delivery times
  • Accounting: cash, margins, and seasonal spending

We work with the people you already have.

Aptic does not replace the people who create for your business. We work with your team or agency on design, copy, and other creative work that people make, and with the professionals you already use, like your accountant or attorney. When you need someone new, we can introduce partners we work with.

Common questions.

Do I need an inventory system?

It helps, but it is not required. Aptic can start from point-of-sale exports and spreadsheets, and flags what is missing.

Can Aptic order stock from suppliers?

Aptic never moves money, so purchases stay with your team. Aptic suggests reorder points and quantities for you to act on.

Does it account for seasons?

Where you have the history, Aptic compares sales with past seasons and keeps estimates separate from facts.
