Inventory control encompasses a range of functions that, while different in nature, share a common requirement: maintaining accurate and comprehensive records of inventory, including all receipts and issues. Broadly, inventory control can be understood from two key perspectives—accounting control and operational control.
Accounting control focuses on the accurate documentation of material receipts, consumption, and the movement of goods throughout the production process. This includes tracking raw materials, work-in-progress, semi-finished goods, and finished products until they reach the customer. It also ensures the safeguarding of the organization’s assets at every stage of the production cycle.
Operational control, on the other hand, is concerned with maintaining inventory at an optimal level, balancing operational needs with the financial capabilities of the enterprise. Its objective is to support smooth production and service delivery while minimizing excessive stock and related costs.
Inventory Management
This module provides centralization of your most basic and necessary warehouse functions. With it, you’re able to see complete inventory details like stock levels, product history and other product specifications. This data syncs to all other parts of your system, so all your functions can run using the same information.
Inventory tracking
Tracking your inventory is important at every stage. Many systems allow you to track your inventory by serial numbers, RFID tags, barcodes and other IDs. These tools make it easy to quickly process inventory data when it first makes its way into your warehouse. They also provide an audit of all inventory movement.
Transfer Management
Enterprise businesses that manage multiple sites have the advantage of moving their product to where it’s most valuable. Bundling or kitting your products can be attractive to customers, especially during certain times of the year. In order to do this most effectively, you’ll want a system equipped with transfer management.
Purchasing
Purchasing is an incredibly important feature to any warehouse that heavily relies on vendor goods to produce their own. This feature mainly works to help users create and manage purchase orders (POs). Many systems include templates that automatically populate with existing data from other parts of the system. Users may also find it helpful to email suppliers directly from their inventory control system, which reduces the amount of time spent switching screens.
Order Management
Most vendors offer an inventory management system that can help you manage your sales orders. These tools allow users to customize pricing, send quotes, track orders and manage returns. Some advanced systems sync orders with inventory levels, mark items for shipment, support multichannel sales and make auto-adjustments to maintain profitability. Order management is an essential feature to increasing and maintaining customer satisfaction.
Reporting and Analytics
Analytics and reporting are excellent tools to have on hand as you plan to grow your business. Analytics tools evaluate patterns in your processes to forecast future demand and sales. Predicting demand is a way to reduce safety stock and carrying costs. Keeping inventory around simply for safety’s sake is no longer necessary when you have great insights into how much you’ll actually need.
