How it works

  • Keep your stock in check

    Move and track your inventory between locations and manage incoming stock from suppliers.

  • Know what you have and what you need

    See and adjust your stock levels in real-time, and use detailed reports to track trends over time.

  • Make bulk updates and automate routine actions

    Save time with bulk editing, and automate workflows to account for shipments, stock receiving, and more.

  • Proactively replenish inventory

    Stay ahead of stockouts with accurate tracking across all locations and manage supplier orders through purchase orders.
