An inventory management system built around your stock, your suppliers and your margins.

We build inventory management systems for wholesalers, manufacturers and trade businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets or a stock add-on. It tracks stock across every location, reorders from suppliers before you run out, and keeps Xero and your online shop up to date.

What we build, around how your team already works.

  • Every location

    Warehouses, vans and job sites, with stock reserved against orders.

  • Reorder before you run out

    Reorder points are set from how fast each item sells and each supplier's lead time.

  • Purchase orders drafted

    Low stock creates a draft purchase order, ready to approve and send to the supplier.

  • Barcode scanning

    Staff book stock in and out with a phone or scanner.

  • Shop and accounts up to date

    Stock levels update on Shopify and in Xero as orders and deliveries happen.

  • Real margins

    See margin by product and customer, using what you actually paid.
