Inventory control

Inventory control without manual counts

The problem isn't not having stock. It's not knowing how much you have until a customer asks and it's already gone.

  • Stock is deducted automatically with every sale
  • Separate stock per location and per variant
  • Alerts before a product runs out

What inventory control includes

Real-time stock

Every sale, return and transfer moves the inventory immediately.

Variants with their own stock

Size, colour and format, each combination with its own count.

Adjustments and counts

Record shrinkage, adjustments and physical counts with reason and owner.

What moves and what doesn't

Spot the product that isn't shifting before you reorder it.

How it works

  1. We load your catalogue

    Send us your Excel file and we upload it with prices, codes and opening stock.

    Ask about catalogue import
  2. You sell as normal

    Every sale deducts the exact unit that left, at the location it left from.

    See how stock is deducted
  3. You check and restock

    Check stock per location, get low-stock alerts, and reorder in time.
