01
Unrecorded or voided sales
Fast-moving items leave the shelf, but the sales trail is incomplete. By month-end, the owner is left comparing cash, stock, and staff explanations.

Where money quietly leaks
Stock leakage rarely announces itself clearly.
It hides inside ordinary activity: a deleted receipt, an informal discount, a late adjustment, or a stock count nobody can explain properly.
02
Unauthorized discounts and price edits
Profit can leak when staff change prices, apply informal discounts, or correct sales without a reviewable approval trail.
03
Manual stock adjustments and transfer gaps
Paper counts, delayed receiving, and vague adjustment reasons make it difficult to separate errors from avoidable loss.
How control works
Replace verbal explanations with reviewable records.
IGFirstERP is not a promise that every risk disappears. It is an operating structure that makes sensitive actions harder to hide and easier to investigate.

1
Staff audit trails
Sales, stock changes, transfers, returns, voids, and sensitive edits should carry user, time, object, and reason context.
2
Role-based permissions
Cashiers, storekeepers, managers, and owners should not share the same power inside the system. Each person works inside the actions they are responsible for.
3
Approval and review workflows
High-risk actions such as adjustments, transfer variances, pricing exceptions, and document changes can be routed into structured review.
4
Variance and exception visibility
Leaders can review where physical stock, system stock, branch movement, or sales records stop agreeing.

Tool
Stock Leakage Risk Calculator
Estimate observed variance and transfer-exception exposure using a transparent formula.
Results vary by implementation scope, data quality, operating discipline, staff adoption, and management review.
Strong fit
Use this when leakage risk has become a management problem.
- You carry meaningful stock value and cannot depend on verbal updates.
- Staff touch sales, stock, returns, transfers, pricing, or adjustments.
- The owner is still the person reconciling what happened after the fact.
- You need named users, role limits, audit trails, and exception review.
Not a magic shortcut
The system works best when management enforces the workflow.
IGFirstERP strengthens the operating record, but the business still needs named accounts, clear roles, disciplined counts, management review, and staff adoption. The point is to replace guesswork with evidence.
