Stock numbers you can trust — and no more selling what you don't have.

Stock that moves with every purchase, delivery and sale — across every warehouse, in cartons or pieces.

Where it goes wrong today.

Stock counts that are never right

The spreadsheet says 40, the shelf says 12, and nobody knows which to believe.

Selling what's already promised

On-hand stock is quoted to a customer when it's already reserved for another.

Carton vs. piece mix-ups

You buy in cartons and sell in pieces, and the numbers never quite line up.

Stock-outs you see too late

You find out you are out when a customer order cannot be filled.

What's included

Inventory Management, the way your business runs it.

01

Every location

Stock by warehouse, store or van, with transfers between them.

02

On hand, reserved, available

See what's physically there and what's free to sell.

03

Units of measure

Buy in cartons, sell in pieces — conversions per product.

04

Counts and adjustments

Cycle counts with differences reviewed before stock is adjusted.

05

Reorder points

Suggestions when stock runs low, based on what you actually sell.

06

True stock cost

Freight and duty included, so your margins are real.

Configured around how you work — and where your process is unusual, we build it.

Why us

We run inventory management this way in our own business.

Merchaint runs our own $20M distribution business. We built this workflow because we needed it — and we’ve hit the problems that only show up once real orders, suppliers and customers are involved.

So we won’t ask you for a requirements list. We’ll map how you work, tell you what you need, and keep improving it after go-live as your team finds what it needs next.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can we have more than one warehouse?

Yes. Stock is tracked per location, with transfers between them.

How do you handle freight and duty?

They are added into the cost of the stock they relate to, so your margins reflect what the goods really cost.

Our stock is in a spreadsheet today. Is that a problem?

No. We migrate your current stock as part of the project and reconcile it with a count before go-live.
