Live Stock Board to Display on a Projector

This might not be something that can be made overnight but a really useful feature for us would be something of a live stock board, something we can display using a projector.

At the moment we rely on counting physical stock and updating white board by hand on a weekly basis. This is great to quickly have a look at what we have but more often than not its instantly out of date and doesn’t take into account what we’ve got on order/pre order etc.

Things I would use it for:

  • Change the colours of things that get too low in stock
  • Alerts for things that go out of stock
  • Expected run rates next to each product
  • Grouping different beer styles
  • Expected out of stock dates
  • Best before dates, batch numbers

No sugar coating it. The more I think about this the more it sounds like a big task but I think this could be a great feature for everyone really.

We could build you this using Breww’s API to pull the live stock data if you like Sean. We’ve done something similar recently actually. (Or you tag products you want on the board as ‘show-on-board’ and just display them on the normal product screen.)
