Feed ages out quietly
Pet food dates. Without batch visibility, short-dated bags sit behind fresh stock until they are a write-off rather than a discount.
Food expires. Customers come back monthly.
Pet retail is repeat business built on consumables with shelf lives. VAP tracks feed and treats by batch and expiry so FEFO picking clears short-dated stock first, prices each bag size with its own MRP, and turns real purchase history into reminders timed to when a customer actually runs out.
What gets in the way
Pet food dates. Without batch visibility, short-dated bags sit behind fresh stock until they are a write-off rather than a discount.
A 1kg, 3kg and 10kg bag carry different printed prices and very different margins. One price per product means staff override at the till.
You know roughly when a customer will need the next bag, but nothing in the system tells you — so the reminder never goes out.
What you get
Goods receipts capture lots and expiry dates, and FEFO picking clears near-expiry feed and treats first.
The 1kg, 3kg and 10kg bags each keep their own printed price and their own margin.
One party record per customer across counter and online, holding what they bought and when.
Barcode POS with every tender type, plus credit notes tied to the original invoice.
Brand-wise purchasing against supplier price lists, with cost captured at goods receipt.
Consumables, accessories and non-stock services sit in one catalogue with their own tax treatment.
Your webstore sells from the same shelf, so an online order never promises what the store lacks.
Invoices, credit notes and GST reports from the records you already billed.
In practice
A customer bought a 10kg bag six weeks ago. The reminder goes out keyed off that purchase, not off a bulk mailing list.
Pull everything within ninety days of expiry and discount or transfer it while it still has value.
Home delivery draws from store stock, so the shelf and the site never disagree.
The apps behind it
