Vintro Pro · for second-hand shops

Stock management for second-hand shops

You sell everything, so your list has to cope with everything. Furniture next to clothes next to books — in one stock, with one register underneath.

The hard part of a second-hand shop is not the quantity. It is that no two pieces are alike.

A wardrobe, a winter coat, a box of records and a coffee machine: four pieces, four kinds of information. The wardrobe needs dimensions, the coat a size, the records an artist and the coffee machine a test. A list with fixed columns becomes either too narrow for that or unworkably wide.

Vintro Pro lets you choose per category which fields take part. One stock, so one register and one margin overview — but the entry screen for a coat is not the one for a wardrobe.

What it does for a second-hand shop

  1. One stock for every category

    Furniture, clothes, books, electricals, toys. You switch on the fields you need per category, and the rest stays out of the way.

  2. A label per piece, with a QR code

    Print to a Zebra or a portable bluetooth printer. At the sale you scan the code, so the price at the till is the price on the piece.

  3. The margin scheme across the whole shop

    Purchase price and sale price are fixed per piece, so your margin falls out without having to keep categories apart. See the margin scheme and your register.

  4. See per category what works

    Which corner of the shop turns over, and which stands still. That is the question your layout should follow — see stock rotation.

In the app: the category sits on every record, and you choose which columns you want to see in the table. So the same stock serves the furniture corner and the clothes rail alike.

Where it goes wrong with mixed stock

Every category gets its own listThen you have four lists and no total at all. Your margin over the quarter becomes addition by hand, and that rarely comes out right.

The furniture columns also show up on the booksAn entry screen with thirty fields of which you use four gets filled in halfway. Half-filled is worse than empty: you trust the list anyway.

What does not turn over stays on the shelfIn a mixed shop a quiet corner does not stand out — there is enough movement elsewhere. The figures per category do show it.

New and second-hand side by side?

If you sell new pieces alongside second-hand, different VAT rules apply to those: the margin scheme exists for goods you bought second-hand. What counts as second-hand and what does not is set out in unused or second-hand?

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep different kinds of goods in one stock?

Yes. You work with one stock and switch on the fields you need per category. A size sits with the clothes and a dimension with the furniture, without saddling the rest with either.

Do I have to enter everything before I can start?

No. You can start today with what comes in and add your older stock gradually, or import your existing Excel list in one go.
