Inventory

Inventory software with a movement history you can explain

Inventory software is a history of movements, not a number on a dashboard. We build it for retailers, warehouses, workshops, and trades such as gold, where the unit of stock is not a simple retail SKU.

  • Locations
  • Reservations
  • Adjustments
  • Special stock

The questions the system must answer

What can be promised to a customer, what is already reserved, where it sits, and who adjusted it. If those four are reliable, purchasing and commerce can share the record. If they are not, a new storefront will oversell.

Counts and the real world

Stock will be wrong sometimes. The product needs a count, an adjustment reason, and a report a supervisor will sign. Hiding the variance is how trust in the system dies.

A reason for every change

The count you can explain

  • On hand, reserved, and incoming
  • Who changed it and why
  • The location that matters

Later

  • A forecast
  • Every barcode gadget
  • A warehouse redesign

What changes inventory

01

The place

A bin, a branch, and a truck are different locations. Say which you count.

02

The reservation

An online order and a sales order must not both think they own the last piece.

03

The adjustment

A count correction needs a reason, or the number will be argued forever.

What an inventory brief needs

  1. 01

    The place

    Bin, branch, or truck. Where you count.

  2. 02

    The meanings

    On hand, reserved, and incoming, in your words.

  3. 03

    The clash

    How two orders can grab the last piece today.

  4. 04

    The reason

    How a correction is explained.

Marks the count can be believed

  1. 01

    One on-hand

    Available stock is a number, not a debate between two screens.

  2. 02

    A movement has a reason

    Receipt, issue, transfer, or adjustment says why the count changed.

  3. 03

    A count can correct

    A stock take can fix the book, with the difference recorded.

  4. 04

    A reservation shows

    Stock promised to an order is not offered again.

What we build

Locations

Warehouse, branch, safe, or bin, at the level you actually operate.

Reservations

A sale or a job that holds quantity so two people cannot promise it.

Adjustments

A reason, a person, and a timestamp.

Special stock

Weight, lot, or serial when the trade requires identity, not only quantity.

Questions we hear

Can this connect to e-commerce?

Yes. Availability on the site should be this record, or a clearly defined cache of it. See e-commerce development.

Do you support barcodes and scans?

When the warehouse will use them. A scan workflow that slows a counter down will be rejected by staff, so we test it on the real bench.

Is gold inventory different?

Yes. Purity, weight, and making charge change the model. The gold and jewellery industry page is the right companion.
