All standard versions of Bistone HMS let you define Services that can be either non-inventory services (like housekeeping, spa treatments) or Stockable Items (like mini-bar products, restaurant ingredients, guest supplies). You can sell them directly from:

• Reservations - Post charges to a guest's folio during their stay.
• Sale Records (POS) - Ring up sales at your restaurant, bar, or gift shop.

This setup works perfectly for daily operations - you record what you sell, and the system keeps a log of every transaction. But there is one thing the standard version does not include: automated inventory tracking.

Need to Know What's Left in Your Store Room?

If your hotel handles physical goods - whether it's beverages, toiletries, or souvenir items - you probably need to answer questions like:

• How many bottles of water are still in stock?
• When should I reorder from my supplier?
• Which items sell fastest?
• Did we receive everything we ordered?

That's where the optional +Inventory Module comes in. It adds a complete inventory management system to your Bistone HMS, fully integrated with your existing sales and purchasing data.

What the +Inventory Module Includes

• Purchase - Record purchase orders and track goods received from suppliers.
• Supplier - Maintain a database of your vendors with contact and payment terms.
• Return Goods - Handle returns to suppliers when items are damaged or incorrect.
• Stock Allocation - Assign incoming stock to different stores or departments.
• Stock Out - Manage items that leave inventory for reasons other than sales (e.g., internal use, wastage).
• Stock Adjustment - Correct inventory counts after a physical count or to account for spoilage.
• Stores - Set up multiple storage locations (main store, bar store, kitchen store) and track inventory separately.
• Inventory - View real-time stock levels.
• Stock Movement Report - Detailed reports showing all inflows and outflows over any period.

The +Inventory module is available as an upgrade for all Bistone HMS editions (Standalone, Network, Cloud). It works alongside your existing data - every sale you make automatically reduces the corresponding stock, so you never have to double-enter anything.
