Why a custom stock tool
Many SMEs track their stock in an Excel file or from memory. This works for a while, then gaps appear: the file says one thing, the shelf says another. Standard software can help, but it sometimes imposes a way of working that does not fit your trade. A custom tool starts from your items, your units and your habits, whether you handle spare parts, raw materials or finished products.
Following each movement without adding work
The right tool is the one your storekeepers actually use. So we try to keep data entry to what is strictly necessary. A receipt can start from a purchase order, a shipment from a customer order, and a barcode avoids retyping references. A phone is often enough to start reading codes.
Each movement leaves a trace: who did what, when and in which warehouse. When there is a discrepancy, you have what you need to understand it instead of guessing.
Several warehouses, one view
If you have a shop, a workshop and a warehouse, or several sites in different cities, you need to see all your stock in one place. The tool can manage transfers between warehouses, with an exit on one side and an entry on the other, so the goods stay visible on screen during the journey. We can also provide access rights by site.
Alerts, inventories and traceability
A stock tool becomes truly useful when it warns you and makes checks easier.
- An alert when an item falls below the minimum level you have set
- Rolling inventory, area by area, without stopping all activity
- Inventory discrepancies shown and explained before correction
- Tracking by batch, date or serial number when your business requires it
- Reports on items that move slowly or are often missing
Connecting stock to the rest of your business
Stock makes the most sense when it exchanges information with the rest of the company. It can be connected to your purchase requests, your online shop or your level sensors, and your invoices can be prepared on my.m2m.ma. For stock valuation and accounting entries, the rules to follow should be validated with your accountant. The scope depends on your business: let us talk about it, and we will prepare a quote for your project.
