Inventory Management

Stock that tells you the truth

Every sale, transfer, return and adjustment moves the number the moment it happens. Not overnight. Not after a batch job. Now.

Costing you can defend

Live across every location

One catalogue, many warehouses and shops. See total on-hand, per-branch on-hand and in-transit in one row.

Batch, expiry & serial

FEFO picking for pharmacy and food, IMEI/serial capture for electronics, lot traceability for anything regulated.

Costing you can defend

Weighted average, FIFO or standard cost, with freight, duty and clearing charges landed onto the item.

01

Stop guessing at reorder time

SumPOS watches how fast each item actually moves at each location, factors in your supplier's lead time, and tells you what to order before you run out - not after a customer asks for it. Reorder suggestions become a draft purchase order with one click, grouped by supplier.

  • Min / max and dynamic reorder points per item, per location
  • Velocity-aware suggestions based on rolling 7, 30 and 90-day sales
  • Lead-time and safety-stock buffers per supplier
  • Dead stock and slow-mover reports with aging buckets
  • Automatic low-stock alerts on WhatsApp, email or push
02

Stock takes that do not close the shop

Count by aisle, by category or by supplier, on as many phones as you have staff. Counts merge live, variances are highlighted as they appear, and you can approve or recount a line before anything is posted. Cycle counting means you never have to shut down for an annual count again.

  • Blind counts so staff cannot see the expected figure
  • Multi-user simultaneous counting on any device
  • Variance report by value, not just by quantity
  • Approval step before adjustments hit the ledger
  • Full history of who counted what, and when
03

Variants, units and the messy real world

A shirt has sizes and colours. Rice sells by the kilo but arrives by the 40kg bag. A soft drink comes in a crate of 24 and is sold singly. SumPOS models all of it - matrix variants, multiple units of measure with conversion, and composite items that draw down their components when sold.

  • Matrix variants across up to three attributes
  • Purchase unit, stock unit and sale unit with automatic conversion
  • Bundles, kits and combos that deplete their parts
  • Open and weighted items linked to a scale
  • Per-item barcodes, including multiple barcodes for one product

FAQ

Inventory Management - the usual questions

Still unsure about something? Ask us directly - a person answers, usually the same day.

Yes. Locations are first-class in SumPOS. A warehouse, a shop, a van and a kitchen are all just locations with different rules. Transfers between them create in-transit stock that is visible to both sides until it is received.
