Table of Contents

You have 2-3 stores/warehouses in different locations. Each warehouse has its own staff and goods. And you're managing everything using Excel and Zalo - warehouse staff report inventory via text message, and you update it in an Excel file. When a customer asks "Is the item in stock?" - you have to text the warehouse staff → wait for a reply → then reply to the customer.

The Problem of Managing Warehouses Across Multiple Branches

Problem Consequence
One Excel file per warehouse Total inventory is unknown.
Non-real-time updates The item is out of stock, but the file still shows "available".
Incorrect data entered. Inventory count at the end of the month shows discrepancies.
Cost of goods sold is unknown. Importing goods in multiple batches at different prices → making it difficult to know the actual profit.
Paper warehouse transfer Goods lost during transfer between warehouses.
Unable to issue electronic invoices in a timely manner. Violation of Decree 123

GTG CRM — Inventory and Invoice Management in One System

Unlike simple inventory management software, GTG CRM connects warehouses with electronic invoices and orders — especially suitable for small businesses that need to comply with Decree 123.

1. Manage Multiple Warehouses from a Single Dashboard

Create and manage multiple warehouses:

Warehouse Location Staff in charge
Main warehouse 123 Nguyen Trai Street, District 1 Mr. Minh
Branch Warehouse 1 456 Le Loi Street, District 3 Ms. Hoa
Branch Warehouse 2 789 CMT8, Binh Duong Mr. Tuan

Everything is displayed on one dashboard:

  • Inventory by warehouse
  • Total inventory
  • Slow-moving inventory
  • The item is almost sold out.

2. Tracked Warehouse Transfer

When you need to transfer goods from warehouse A to warehouse B:

```

Create a warehouse transfer slip.

Warehouse A: Ship 100 units of product X

→ Transportation

→ Warehouse B: Receive 100 units of product X

→ Confirm receipt of goods

```

  • Full tracking: who created it, when, and how much.
  • If there is a shortage, the system will record the difference.
  • Never "lose goods midway" without knowing it.

3. Warehouse Connection → Electronic Invoice

This is what sets it apart from typical inventory management software:

```

Customers shopping at the store

Create order → Select shipment from branch warehouse 1

Inventory at branch 1 automatically decreases.

↓ (simultaneously)

Automatically generated electronic invoices

Digital signature → Send to tax authority → Email to customer

```

1 operation = inventory withdrawal + electronic invoice creation + revenue recognition.

4. Inventory Receipt + Cost Calculation

When receiving goods from a supplier:

```

Create a warehouse receipt:

  • Supplier: ABC Corp
  • Product: 200 pieces × 50,000 VND
  • Receiving warehouse: Main warehouse

Inventory increase + Updated FIFO cost of goods sold

↓ (optional)

Create a purchase invoice (input electronic invoice)

```

5. Reports for Household Businesses

Simple, easy-to-understand report - no accountant needed:

Report Content
Current inventory Quantity and value of inventory in each warehouse
Import - Export Summary of imports/exports by day/month
Product Profit/Loss Selling price - Cost price = Profit, for each product
Long-term inventory Products that haven't sold for > 30/60/90 days
Revenue Total revenue by warehouse, by branch
