Stock Is Cash Sitting on a Shelf
Too much of it and your money is tied up in boxes. Too little and you turn customers away. Inventory management is the discipline of getting the shape and placement of stock right — across every location in your network.
Our system identifies what you need, sets reorder targets, recommends replenishment, and reports actual and projected stock — so you're ordering against what's about to happen, not what already did. It handles goods for resale, work-in-progress and service parts alike.
Every Location, One View
Stores, warehouses and transit — one number you can actually trust.
Projected, Not Just Actual
See what you'll be short of next week, while there's still time to order it.
Costs Kept in Check
Ordering, shipping and handling costs tracked as part of the stock decision.
From Goods In to Goods Sold
The full movement of stock, tracked end to end.
Multi-Location Stock
Track the same item across every facility and every point in the supply network.
Replenishment & Targets
Set min/max levels and reorder points so restocking is a decision the system prompts, not one you remember.
Actual vs Projected
Report on stock you hold now and stock you'll hold after committed orders and sales land.
Barcode & Stock Takes
Scan-driven goods-in, transfers and counts — so a stock take is hours, not a lost weekend.
POS & Order Integration
Sales from the till and online orders write back automatically. One source of truth for stock.
Valuation & Reporting
Stock value, ageing, dead stock and turnover — the numbers finance actually asks for.
Choose How You Track and Value Stock
These decisions affect your margins and your audit trail, so settle them with your accountant before go-live — not after the first year-end.
FIFO, FEFO or Average Cost
First-in-first-out suits most goods; first-expired-first-out matters for food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals; weighted average cost smooths out fluctuating purchase prices. Which methods are acceptable for valuation depends on your accounting rules.
Serial, Batch or Plain SKU
Track high-value or warrantied items by serial number, perishable or regulated goods by batch, and everything else at SKU level. Over-tracking cheap items adds scanning work with no payback.
Units of Measure
Buying by the case and selling by the unit is where many stock errors begin. Define pack sizes and conversions once, on the item record, rather than relying on staff to do the arithmetic at goods-in.
Cycle Counts over Annual Counts
Group items by value and movement (ABC analysis) and count fast-moving, high-value lines often and slow lines rarely. Small, frequent counts with barcodes catch errors while the cause is still traceable.
Reorder Planning and Moving Stock Between Sites
A reorder point is not a guess. It is the demand you expect during the supplier's lead time, plus a safety buffer sized to how unpredictable that demand and that supplier are. Set it per item and per location, and revisit it when seasons, suppliers or prices change.
Before building reorder rules, check that lead times on supplier records are real and that sales history is clean — returns, one-off bulk orders and stock-outs all distort the demand figure the rules depend on.
Transfers between locations deserve the same discipline. Treat a transfer as two steps — dispatched by one site, received by the other — with the goods shown as in transit in between. Otherwise stock disappears from one location before it appears in the next, and both counts are wrong for days.
Lead-Time Demand
How much you sell while waiting for the next delivery to arrive.
Safety Stock
A buffer for demand spikes and late deliveries — larger for erratic lines, smaller for steady ones.
In-Transit Stock
Goods between sites stay visible and valued until the receiving location confirms them.
Connecting Systems and Leaving Spreadsheets Behind
Most inventory projects succeed or fail on data and integration decisions, not on screens.
Agree Who Owns Each Number
Decide which system is the master for item data, stock quantity and stock value. Typically inventory owns quantities and the accounting package owns the ledger, with stock movements posted across as journals.
Online Stock Sync
When a web store and a shop floor share stock, small sync delays cause overselling. Publishing slightly less than you hold for fast-selling lines is a common, sensible buffer.
Migrating from Spreadsheets
Clean up duplicate and dead SKUs first, then load opening balances from a physical count at a fixed cut-off date. Spreadsheet totals are rarely accurate enough to start from.
