How Bruno’s Bows Used Q-TRACK to Streamline Stock-Taking

When launching a small business, managing stock efficiently is crucial. Laura, founder and director of Bruno’s Bows, quickly discovered this when hundreds of boxes containing 8,000 items arrived at her home. Manually inputting each SKU into Excel was not a viable option, so she turned to Q-TRACK to simplify the process.

With Q-TRACK’s Stock Take Form, Bruno's Bows was able to complete her inventory quickly, accurately, and without the hassle of spreadsheets. Here’s how she transformed what could have been a time-consuming task into a streamlined, stress-free process.
