Frequently Asked Questions
How can I easily track stock if I sell many different items?
The easiest way is to make getting paid the moment you sell your stock. When you collect payment with TrustAm, the stock count goes down automatically. This way, you don't need to stop your selling to update records.
What if a customer returns an item? How does that affect my stock count?
If you use TrustAm, you can easily record returns. When you process a return, it adds the item back to your stock, so your counts stay accurate. This helps you know exactly what's available.
How do I know which products are selling best in Alaba?
By tracking every sale, you can see which items are moving fast. TrustAm helps you identify your bestsellers. This means you can order more of what customers love and less of what they don't.
What happens if I have old stock that isn't selling?
If an item hasn't sold in 90 days, TrustAm flags it as dead stock. This helps you decide whether to sell it at a discount or remove it, so it doesn't take up space and tie up your money.
Can TrustAm help me manage stock even if I have staff selling for me?
Yes, TrustAm allows you to set up staff roles. Staff can make sales, but you, as the owner, control when money leaves the account. This gives you full oversight of stock and sales, even when you're not there.
