Inventory Manager

Know what you have, before a customer finds out you don't.

Your Inventory Manager reads your stock every morning against how fast each thing actually sells and how long your supplier actually takes. When something is heading for empty, you hear about it while there is still time to order, not on the day the shelf clears.

It orders nothing and recommends everything. Every Monday it hands your buyer a costed list: what to reorder, how many, from whom, and the date you run out if nobody acts. You set a limit on what it can pass through on its own. Anything bigger comes to you with the numbers already worked out.

It counts a slice every week. Instead of shutting down once a year for a full count nobody enjoys, it rotates through your stock: the valuable, fast-moving items weekly, the middle monthly, the long tail quarterly. Errors get found while they are still small enough to explain.

A miscount is a question, not a correction. When a count disagrees with the record, it goes looking for the reason first: a delivery that was never entered, a return that never got restocked, a unit that went out as a warranty replacement. It brings you the cause and the evidence. It never quietly changes a number to make the books agree.

It names the dead stock out loud. Once a month: what has not sold, what it is worth, what it is costing you to keep it, and what it recommends doing about it. That conversation happens monthly instead of once, painfully, at year end.

Works with whatever system holds your stock and your purchase records.
