Overview

Know how stock moves through your business.

Inventory Management follows stock from the purchase requirement through receipt, storage and issue. It brings item records, warehouse quantities and movement documents into a connected operational view. For businesses with several locations, teams can check stock by warehouse and record transfers between them. Managers can then review availability, consumption and purchasing activity with the supporting stock records close at hand.

Who it is for

Wholesalers and distributors
Businesses operating multiple warehouses
Manufacturers controlling materials and finished stock
Purchasing teams and stock controllers

Core capabilities

From purchasing to stock control.

Purchasing through receipt

Work with purchase requisitions, supplier quotations and purchase orders. Follow supply against an order, record goods received and process purchase bills with the associated stock documentation.

Stock by warehouse

Maintain item information and quantities across warehouse locations. Record receipts, issues and inter-warehouse transfers so staff can understand both the current position and the movements behind it.

Warehouse handling

Support receiving, picking, packing and shipping processes. Include physical stock verification and checks on received material in the configured warehouse workflow, with goods receipt and issue documents for stock movements.

Stock accountability

Review stock ledgers and transaction records to investigate quantities received, issued or transferred. User permissions can control access to operational functions and the ability to add, change or delete records.

Movement analysis and replenishment

Use fast-moving, slow-moving and non-moving (FSN) analysis to distinguish regularly used items from stock that needs attention. Reorder and consumption reports support purchasing discussions using recorded demand and availability.

Materials with other parties

Follow stock issued to, or received from, suppliers and processing parties. Party-level stock information helps teams review material movements that extend beyond their own warehouse locations.

How the workflow works

Follow the operational process.

A typical workflow, aligned to the agreed scope and configuration.

04
Issue or sell

05

06

Review movement, consumption and replenishment needs.

Reporting & visibility

See the stock behind the numbers.

Stock position and movement

Stock statements, item summaries and ledgers show receipts, issues and balances, helping teams investigate changes in availability.

Purchase and sales activity

Review purchase-order supply status, purchase reports, sales-related inventory records and transaction checks.

Consumption and reorder needs

Use consumption statements, critical-item reorder reports and FSN analysis to identify items that need a purchasing or stockholding decision.

Supplier and party stock

Review stock held with, issued to or received from other parties, including material sent for processing.

Configuration & connections

Start with your requirements.

Warehouse structure, item groupings, transaction types and user permissions can be configured around your operation. Barcode use is subject to the agreed setup. Confirm the required stock valuation and issue method, devices, document formats and any links to other systems with Africube before implementation.

Discuss your requirements

Useful answers

Before your demonstration.

Can we manage more than one warehouse?

Yes. The available capability includes stock visibility by warehouse and documented transfers between locations. Africube will confirm the warehouse structure and access arrangements for your deployment.

What does FSN analysis tell a stock controller?

FSN groups stock by movement: fast-moving, slow-moving and non-moving. It helps you review frequently used items, investigate low movement and discuss stockholding or replenishment decisions with purchasing.

Does the system use barcodes?

Barcode workflows can be considered as part of configuration. Confirm your scanners, labels and required processes with Africube so the proposed solution specifies the supported setup.

What should we bring to an inventory demonstration?

Bring sample item records, purchase and receipt documents, a warehouse list and the reports your team uses. Describe how you handle transfers, physical counts and materials sent for processing.
