As Parkgate Mobility grew to operate 22 stores alongside a central warehouse and distribution centre, managing stock and purchasing across multiple locations became increasingly complex. The business needed a system that could handle not only front-end sales, but also back-end stock control, purchasing and internal stock movements at scale.

Stephen had explored a range of cost-effective, off-the-shelf software options, but found that most focused heavily on sales while falling short on multi-location stock and distribution. At the same time, dealing with VAT, ongoing rebate requirements and the demands of Making Tax Digital added further operational strain. Bespoke software could meet these needs, but came with costs that were simply not viable for the business.

Today, Parkgate Mobility uses Saledock to manage stock movements across 22 shops and a central warehouse with confidence. Internal transfers that were once difficult to track are now handled digitally, giving the business full visibility of stock as it moves through the organisation.

The system has removed many of the operational headaches associated with multi-site retail, from purchasing and distribution to VAT and accounting. By delivering functionality comparable to a bespoke system — without the associated cost — Saledock has helped Parkgate Mobility run a more efficient, scalable operation.
