Fast Inventory turns every movement into a reporting layer you can trust. The stock ledger keeps an immutable movement history — opening, in, out and a running closing balance — while item- and location-wise stock, valuation, ABC analysis, non-moving and reorder reports all read straight off it. Because the numbers come from the same postings that changed your stock, the figure you show finance is the figure on the shelf.
Reporting isn't a separate data-entry chore — it is the by-product of the movements your team already posts. New to stock accuracy? Start with our guide, what is inventory management software?
The stock ledger is the backbone of the whole reporting layer. For each item in each store it records the opening balance, every quantity in and out, and a running closing balance — each line stamped with its transaction type and reference. Nothing in the ledger can be edited or deleted after it is written; a correction is a new posting, never an overwrite. So any stock figure on any report can be traced back, movement by movement, to how it got there.
From the ledger balances come the reports you look at every day: item-wise stock, location-wise stock, and stock valuation. Valuation values your on-hand quantity at cost price or at the specific lot rate, item-wise and store-wise, so the money tied up in inventory is always current. And because it is built from the same item master and postings your store team uses, the inventory figure you hand finance is grounded in the same data as the shelf — not a separate sheet that has quietly drifted.
Not every item deserves equal attention. ABC analysis ranks items by their share of stock value — A items are roughly the top 70 percent of value, B the middle band from about 30 to 70 percent, and C the smallest under 30 percent — so you know where to concentrate control. Non-moving and slow-moving reports surface the items tying up cash and space, reorder-level alerts flag items at or below their minimum, and stock aging buckets stock by how long it has sat. Together they turn dead stock and stock-outs into monthly decisions instead of year-end surprises.
Reports are only worth trusting if the system agrees with reality. The reconciliation report lines up system stock against the physical count so variances are plain, and an item-by-location cross reference shows exactly where each item sits and how much is in each store. Read together with the stock ledger, they let anyone from the store clerk to finance answer "what do we have, where, and is it right?" without exporting to a spreadsheet — and Dhruv AI can summarise the same data or answer a plain-English question over it, read-only.
The immutable movement history — opening, in, out and running closing balance — that every other figure traces back to.
Current on-hand by item and by store or location, so you always know what you hold and exactly where it sits.
On-hand stock valued at cost price or lot rate, item-wise and store-wise, so the inventory figure finance sees is current.
Value-share classification — A at or above 70%, B from 30 to 70%, C below 30% — so control effort goes where the value is.
Items with no or low movement over a period, and stock aging buckets — the cash and space tied up in dead stock, made visible.
Reorder-level alerts, stock aging, system-vs-physical reconciliation and an item-by-location cross reference in one place.
Stock reports compiled by hand in a spreadsheet drift out of step with the shelf the moment they are saved. Here is what changes when the reports read from the ledger itself.
Fast Inventory produces the full stock-control reporting layer: the stock ledger of every movement, item-wise and location-wise stock, stock valuation at cost or lot rate, ABC analysis by value share, non-moving and slow-moving analysis, reorder-level alerts, stock aging, reconciliation of system versus physical, and an item-by-location cross reference. Because every report reads from the same postings that changed your stock, the numbers reconcile to each other rather than being compiled separately.
The stock ledger is the immutable movement history of an item in a store — opening balance, every quantity in and out, and a running closing balance, each line carrying its transaction type and reference. Nothing in the ledger can be edited or deleted after the fact; a correction is a new posting, not an overwrite. That makes it the single source of truth you can trace any stock figure back to, movement by movement. It is fed by every stock movement you post.
ABC analysis ranks items by their share of total stock value. A items are roughly the top 70 percent of value, B items the next band from about 30 to 70 percent, and C items the smallest share under 30 percent. Because a small number of A items usually carry most of the money, the classification tells you where to focus counting, purchasing and control effort — tight discipline on A items, lighter touch on C. Read our guide to ABC analysis for worked examples.
The non-moving and slow-moving reports list items with no movement, or only low movement, over a period you choose. Read alongside stock aging, which buckets stock by how long it has sat, they show you exactly which items are tying up cash and space — the candidates for a write-down, a clearance or a stop on further purchasing. It turns dead stock from a year-end surprise into a monthly decision.
Stock valuation values your on-hand quantity at cost price or at the specific lot rate, and can be produced item-wise and store-wise. Because it is built from the same item master and the same movement postings your store team works with every day, the inventory figure you give finance is grounded in the same data as the shelf — not a separate spreadsheet that has drifted out of step. Fast Inventory runs cloud or on-premise, for manufacturers, distributors, traders, 3PL and warehousing businesses across India and worldwide.
