Multi-warehouse, one truth

Every site writes to the same stock ledger. Head office and the warehouse floor look at the same number, always.

Adjustments with accountability

Damage, shrinkage, found stock — every adjustment has a typed reason, an owner and an optional approval step before it moves a number.

Cycle counts without the shutdown

Count an aisle at a time from the mobile app. Variances are flagged against expected quantities the moment a count is submitted.

Transfers you can track

Transfer orders dispatch from one site and are received at another — and the stock stays visible as in-transit the whole way.

Reorder points that fire

Set minimums per item per warehouse. The dashboard shows what's below reorder and what's critical before customers find out for you.

A history for every unit

Every movement is an auditable event: who, when, from where, against which document. Audits stop being a scramble.

How a movement becomes a number everyone trusts.

What multi-warehouse inventory management actually requires.

Most inventory tools were designed for one stockroom and stretched. These are the capabilities that separate software that manages multiple warehouses from software that merely lists them.

One stock ledger, not one file per site

Multi-warehouse inventory management software keeps a single availability figure per item, per warehouse, per bin — and updates it the moment stock moves. In Invistock, every receipt, pick, adjustment, count and transfer writes to one stock ledger, so head office and the warehouse floor read the same number at the same second.

The alternative is familiar: a spreadsheet per site, emailed around on Fridays, reconciled by whoever notices the mismatch first. Once a business runs two buildings, per-site files stop being an inventory system and become an argument-generation system.

Transfers that exist while they travel

Stock between sites is the first thing single-warehouse tools lose. A transfer in Invistock is a document: it dispatches from one warehouse, stays visible as in-transit stock the whole way, and is received at the destination. Nothing falls off the books between buildings.

That in-transit visibility is what lets you answer “where are those 120 units?” with a document reference instead of a phone call.

Rules per warehouse, not per company

Reorder points, permissions and counts are defined per warehouse, because sites aren't interchangeable. A fast mover can carry a minimum of 200 in one warehouse and 40 in another; a role can adjust stock at one site and only read the other. The dashboard rolls it up — what's below reorder, what's critical, and where.

Counting a live operation

Cycle counts run an aisle at a time from the mobile app, against expected quantities, with variances flagged the moment a count is submitted. No shutdown weekend, no rented scanners — and every correction is a typed, owned, auditable adjustment rather than a silent overwrite.

Spreadsheets, single-site tools and Invistock.

The honest comparison isn't against doing nothing — it's against the stack most growing operations actually run: a starter inventory app plus a spreadsheet per site.

Common questions

Yes. Every receipt, pick, adjustment, count and transfer writes to the stock ledger in the same transaction. There is no overnight sync job — the number you see is the number that exists.
