The issue is it's easy to say in stock, even "5 in stock" at 5pm before closing for the night, but if 6 more are ordered overnight unless you have live stock pick someone gets told it's in stock when it isn't. Or if someone comes in the shop at 9am and buys one off the shelf before you've done the overnight orders!?
Plus even the best systems rely on correct info being manually imputted when stock arrives (you don't want to know how much a barcode scanning solution would be!!
I'm not sure I know of any shop which has a storefront and webshop who can be 100% accurate, though it's doable for a web only store!

Dave, thankyou my point exactly, we are both a walk in store (30% of our business), online webshop (65%) and trackside store at the weekends (5%) this system just is not viable for us at present as I mentioned above, maybe we should stop supporting the meetings (I dont think so) then the stock never leaves the building though.
