Inventory Management Module

What is Inventory Management?

The process of overseeing and controlling the inventory of goods and materials that a business holds. It involves tracking inventory levels, ordering new stock, storing goods, and managing the flow of products from suppliers to customers. Effective inventory management ensures that a business has the right amount of stock available at the right time, preventing stockouts (running out of products) or overstocking (holding too much inventory, which can lead to increased costs or waste).

Supplier

A person, company, or entity that provides goods, services, or raw materials to another business or organization. Suppliers play a key role in the supply chain by ensuring that businesses have the necessary resources to produce goods, meet customer demand, and run their operations smoothly. A supplier can be a manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor, or service provider, depending on the nature of the products or services being offered.

In a broader sense, suppliers are integral to the procurement process and are often involved in negotiations, contracts, delivery logistics, and maintaining quality standards for the goods or services they provide.

Stock Report

A document or system-generated report used by businesses to track the status of their inventory or stock levels. It provides a detailed view of the quantity, value, and status of inventory items, allowing businesses to manage their stock efficiently. The stock report helps monitor inventory levels, highlight discrepancies, and identify potential issues, such as stockouts or overstocking. It is essential for businesses involved in manufacturing, retail, wholesale, or distribution to maintain accurate stock records to ensure smooth operations.

What is a Purchase Order?

A formal document created by a buyer to request goods or services from a supplier. It is a key part of the procurement process and serves as an official agreement between the buyer and the supplier. Once the supplier accepts the PO, it acts as a legally binding contract to fulfill the terms outlined in the order, such as quantities, prices, and delivery dates.

Delivery Module

A system is designed to manage and track the delivery of goods or services from a business to its customers. It streamlines the entire delivery process, including order fulfillment, shipping, tracking, and customer notifications. This module ensures that products reach their intended destination on time and in good condition while offering visibility into the progress of each delivery.

Invoice Module

A system is designed to automate and manage the entire process of generating, sending, tracking, and recording invoices for goods and services provided by a business. It plays a crucial role in accounting and financial operations by ensuring that invoices are accurate, timely, and compliant with relevant tax laws. The module helps businesses maintain a smooth cash flow, reduce errors, and track outstanding payments.

Action Logs

Records that document every action or event that occurs within a system or application. They provide a detailed and chronological account of user activities, system events, and changes made to data. These logs are important for tracking, monitoring, and auditing purposes, helping to maintain accountability, troubleshoot issues, and ensure security within a system.
