Inventory Management System

Inventory Management Platform

01 — Problem

Inventory disconnected across spreadsheets

Inventory across purchasing, material receiving, and project allocation was tracked in disconnected spreadsheets, making it difficult to know real stock levels, catch buffer-stock shortfalls early, or trace which supplier or purchase order a batch of material came from.

02 — Solution

One system for the whole inventory flow

The Inventory Management System brings purchase orders, material receiving, project allocation, and supplier records into one system, with buffer-stock thresholds that flag low inventory before it becomes a shortage.

06 — Outcome

The impact so far

Stock levels and open purchase orders are visible in one place instead of scattered across spreadsheets, which shortens the time needed to check availability and gives the team earlier warning before buffer stock runs low.
