What Is SKU?

‍

Stock management and control are integral to business, as the process lets businesses know what is and is not selling so that they can order and process accordingly. Historically, stocktakes were labor-intensive, time-consuming manual marathons, prone to human error, however, today, stock management has become easier, helped by the introduction of the stock-keeping unit (SKU), a unique code that combines numbers and letters that describe specific product variants, such as category, color, size, style, et al., assigned to identify and track products, ensuring that each product can be identified accurately and quickly, aiding procurement, sales, marketing, distribution, analysis and reporting processes.    

The Importance of Having SKU Barcode Scanning Features

In today’s increasingly competitive business environment, efficiency is key to success. 

Youtap’s POS SKU Barcode-Scanning System feature enhances your business’s operational efficiency by scanning barcodes, instead of manual data entry, saving time and reducing unnecessary error.
