Flores Hardware
“Dati, ang Friday stock-check ko ang pinaka-stress kong trabaho. Ngayon, sinasabi na ng sistema kung sino ang mag-o-order at kailan. Mas malaya na ako para sa customers.”
— Rodrigo Flores, owner — Flores Hardware, Cebu City
The situation.
Flores Hardware in Cebu City's Colon district carries over 1,800 SKUs — bolts and fasteners, paint, electrical supplies, plumbing fittings. Before Nexus7, reordering was entirely manual: owner Rodrigo Flores or a staff member would walk the store every Friday and write down what looked low. They'd miss items. Stocking gaps on fast-movers — construction-grade nails, PVC pipes, paint thinner — cost them an estimated three to five lost sales per day. Customers who couldn't find what they needed walked out and went to a competitor down the street. Rodrigo knew the problem existed but had no data on which specific SKUs were causing the most damage or how much revenue was walking out the door.
What changed.
- 1Reorder point alerts were configured for 340 high-velocity SKUs. When stock hits the set threshold, NexusBuy automatically drafts a purchase order — no manual Friday check required.
- 2First-quarter result: stockouts on the 340 flagged SKUs dropped by 32%.
- 3NexusReports identified that 12 SKUs were responsible for 38% of all missed sales — Rodrigo doubled minimum stock levels on those items specifically.
- 4Purchase order accuracy improved: more precise ordering reduced overstock on slow-moving specialty items by 18%, freeing shelf space and working capital.
- 5Staff now spend Friday time on customer-facing tasks rather than stock walks — Rodrigo estimates two hours per week recovered across the team.
The modules in practice.
NexusStock tracks live inventory levels and fires alerts when any SKU hits its reorder point. NexusBuy turns those alerts into draft purchase orders, pre-filled with the right supplier and quantity, ready to send in one tap. NexusReports surfaces the missed-sale analysis — which SKUs, how often, and what the revenue impact is.
Flores Hardware operates in a competitive corridor where customers have multiple alternatives within walking distance. The 32% stockout reduction is a direct conversion improvement — fewer customers walking out empty-handed.
What Flores Hardware runs on.
All modules share the same underlying data — every sale, every stock movement, every payment feeds into one connected record. Nothing gets entered twice.
