Inventory and procurement systems that track stock, automate reordering and keep purchasing under control.

## What it is
Inventory and procurement systems record what you have, where it is and what you need to order. They connect purchasing, receiving, stock movements and sales so numbers stay accurate.

Accurate stock cuts two costs at once: money tied up in excess inventory and sales lost to stock-outs. Approvals and supplier records also bring discipline to purchasing.

## What is included
- **Stock and process review**: Locations, units, batches and current practice.
- **Item and supplier master data**: Clean catalogues and supplier details.
- **Purchasing workflow**: Requests, approvals, orders and receiving.
- **Stock tracking**: Movements, transfers, counts and adjustments.
- **Reorder rules**: Alerts and suggestions based on usage.
- **Reporting**: Stock levels, valuation and supplier performance.

## Outcomes
- **Fewer stock-outs**: Reorder alerts prompt action in time.
- **Less excess stock**: Visibility reduces overbuying.
- **Controlled spending**: Approvals and records back every purchase.

## Good fit if
- Stock counts do not match records.
- Purchasing is informal.
- You manage several locations or warehouses.

## FAQ
**Can it use barcodes?**
Yes, barcode scanning can speed up receiving and counts.

**Can it connect to our online store?**

Many systems support this. Requirements are confirmed during scoping.
