The best inventory and stores software for serviced apartments.
Every unit holds linen, kitchenware and amenities. Stores track what is issued to units and what comes back from the laundry. Here is what to look for, and how Tivuzo does it as part of one back office.
The best inventory and stores software for serviced apartments covers main, kitchen, bar and housekeeping stores, issues and transfers, reorder levels, counts and stock value in the books, and handles what is specific to serviced apartments: linen par per unit; kitchen starter packs and amenities; maintenance spares; monthly count. It should share one database with the rest of the back office so nothing is typed twice. Tivuzo includes it with the PMS, POS, procurement, stores and accounting for $13 per user per month.
What serviced apartments need
Every unit holds linen, kitchenware and amenities. Stores track what is issued to units and what comes back from the laundry.
- Linen par per unit
- Kitchen starter packs and amenities
- Maintenance spares
- Monthly count
The full checklist
Beyond the specifics above, any inventory and stores software for a serviced apartment should have:
| Must have | In Tivuzo |
|---|---|
| A store per department: main, kitchen, cold room, bar, housekeeping, maintenance | ✓ |
| Buy in one unit, issue in another | ✓ |
| Requisitions and issues between stores | ✓ |
| Reorder levels per item and store | ✓ |
| Waste and breakage with a reason | ✓ |
| Counts with variance before posting | ✓ |
| Stock value and food and beverage cost in the accounts | ✓ |
| Shares data with the rest of the back office | ✓ One database: PMS, POS, procurement, stores, accounting |
Why it should be part of one system
When stores are joined to procurement, the POS and the accounts, receipts, issues and sales move stock and its value automatically, and the monthly count shows a variance you can trust. Read one system vs separate systems.
